GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD
Adapted from Vegetarian Times 2005 Grilled sweet potatoes require close attention - but the results are worth it. Slice them too thick, and they won't cook through; slice them too thin, and they will char quickly. Slice carefully and keep an eye on the grill.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES
I don't really like the traditional sweet potato casserole, but my son loves sweet potatoes, so I try to come up with different ways to cook them. This spring I tried grilling them. These are now a favorite of mine and my sons.

SWEET POTATO SALAD WITH CHILI-LIME DRESSING

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes (don't overcook or your salad will be mushy and falling apart.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
- While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Add the red bell pepper and scallions to the potatoes and toss with the dressing. Season again with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes that are firm and heavy for their size will grill best. Avoid potatoes that are soft or have blemishes.
- Use a hot grill: This will help to create a nice charred exterior and tender interior.
- Grill the potatoes in a single layer: This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through grilling: This will help them to cook evenly on both sides.
- Season the potatoes generously: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all great options.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will make them easier to handle and will also allow the flavors to develop.
