    Lime-Salted Sweet Potato Chips, Sweet Potato Salad

    Recipe courtesy Ruth Durland, Tacoma, WA.

    Ingredients:

    2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
    1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
    1/2 Tbs. honey
    1/2 tsp. hot-pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
    1/2 cup olive oil
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2/3 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
    2/3 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
    6 large mustard-green leaves, cut into 3/4" pieces

    Preparation:

    Whisk white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey and hot-pepper sauce in a small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in olive oil. Season dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

    Steam russet potatoes until tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing. Steam sweet potatoes until tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of the dressing.

    Add sweet potatoes and mustard-green leaves to the russet potatoes. Toss salad and add enough dressing to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

    Chef's Note: This salad can be made 2 hours ahead of time. Cover and let stand at room temperature before serving.

    We at DIY believe all of the recipes from Paul James' Home Grown Cooking are accurate and reliable, but since we have not tested them personally, we can claim no responsibility if the desired results are not achieved.
