CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO SALAD
This is a 90's potato salad - a new and improved, redone, much better potato salad. Not only does it have a sweet potato, in addition to a Russet potato, but it also contains corn, cucumber, and peanuts! Corn oil will do if you don't have canola.

Steps:
- Place the Russet potato pieces into a large saucepan, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sweet potato, and cook about 15 minutes more. Remove a piece of each potato, and cut it in half to see if it is cooked enough. Once the potatoes are tender, add corn kernels; cook another 30 seconds. Drain through a colander. Fill the saucepan with cold water, and drop vegetables into water. Cool for 5 minutes, and drain.
- In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.
- Cut cooled potatoes into 1 inch cubes, and add to dressing along with cucumber, and red onion. Toss well. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Toss the peanuts in just before serving.

CARIBBEAN SWEET POTATO PUDDING
Sweet Potato is a staple in the Caribbean Islands. It is used as a vegetable, as well as main ingredient in dessert recipes. Rita G. Springer was born in Barbados and educated there. Rita moved to England in 1964 and during her stay, gained the certificate in Nutrition awarded by the Royal Society of Health. In her recipe book entitled "Caribbean Cookbook", Rita presents "authentic recipes, unusual ingredients and exciting cooking"..(the Barbados Sun). I have a special love for Barbados and the people of Barbados and find myself quite frequently referring to the Caribbean Cookbook for dinner party menus. Cook time includes the time it takes to precook the sweet potatoes.
