Ingredients

  • 2 lb purple sweet potatoes boiled, peeled, and sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and mashed
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices.
  • Place the sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil. Then cook on medium to low heat for about 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Drain the cooked potato slices and place them in a large stainless steel bowl. Place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  • This will give the potatoes a quick cool down to get them to room temperature. While the potatoes are cooling you can prep the dressing.

Tahini Dressing Instructions

  • Place the tahini, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, parsley, and garlic in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients with a whisk until well blended. Then set the mixture aside.

Putting The Potato Salad Together Instructions

  • Place the cooled potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the dressing on top of the sweet potatoes.
  • Stir in the dressing until the potatoes are well coated.
  • Put the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. For a more flavorful potato salad marinate the potatoes overnight.
  • Stir quickly to redistribute the dressing so the potatoes are well covered and enjoy!
