Caribbean Sweet Potato Salad image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large russet potato, peeled and quartered
1 large sweet potato, peeled and quartered
1 cup corn
1 teaspoon prepared Dijon-style mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tablespoons canola oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cucumber, halved lengthwise and chopped
½ red onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup finely chopped peanuts

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.

I would give this recipe a 1 out of 5. The potatoes were overcooked and the dressing was bland.

This potato salad is just okay. The potatoes are a bit bland and the dressing is not very flavorful. I wouldn't make this again.

This is a good recipe, but I would make a few changes. I would use less mayonnaise and add more celery and onion. I also think it would be better if the potatoes were cooked a little longer.
