- In a large pot of boiling water, cook the cubed sweet potatoes until they are tender but still offer some resistance when pierced with a fork, about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, parsley, lemon juice, sugar, celery seed, dill, paprika, pepper and salt, and mix to combine. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, celery, pickles and onion.
- Add all but 2 tablespoons of the sour cream dressing to the potato mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least until thoroughly chilled. Turn chilled salad out onto a bed of greens, spoon the reserved dressing over the top and serve.
