Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pound sweet potatoes (2 large)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and halve lengthwise. Cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch-thick wedges, then cut wedges crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Steam potatoes in a steamer over boiling water in a large pot, covered, until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • While potatoes steam, whisk together mustard, vinegar, and salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Add hot potatoes to dressing and gently toss to combine well. Cool salad to room temperature, about 15 minutes. Add scallions and salt to taste and gently toss.

Tips:

  • For a tangy and flavorful potato salad, use a good-quality sweet mustard. Look for one that is made with whole grain mustard seeds and has a well-balanced flavor.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to the salad, use a sweet potato variety, such as Garnet Sweet Potatoes or Beauregard Sweet Potatoes.
  • Be sure to cook the potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and fall apart in the salad.
  • For a creamy potato salad, add a cup of mayonnaise or sour cream. For a lighter version, use a mixture of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise.
  • Add some chopped celery, onion, and hard-boiled eggs for a classic potato salad flavor. You can also add other vegetables, such as diced carrots, peas, or bell peppers.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add a pinch of sugar or a dash of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
  • Serve the potato salad chilled for best results. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Sweet mustard potato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for potlucks, picnics, and summer barbecues. With its sweet and tangy flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a new potato salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
