Wash and peel the sweet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes. Leave the skin on the red potatoes for added texture and color. Cut all potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water, then carefully add the potato cubes. Boil for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork. Avoid overcooking to prevent the potatoes from becoming mushy.
Drain the potatoes and immediately transfer them to a large bowl. Allow them to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.
Dice the red onion and celery into small pieces. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Add the diced red onion, celery, and parsley to the bowl with the potatoes. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss everything together until well coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the potato salad for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
