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.

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large russet potatoes
1 large sweet potatoes
1 c corn, fresh
1 cucumber
1/2 red onion
TOPPING
1/4 c peanuts, dry roasted
DRESSING:
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp lime zest, grated
3 Tbsp cilantro, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp peper
3 Tbsp canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Directions 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.
  • 2. In a large bowl, whisk together mustard, lime juice, cilantro, and garlic. Slowly whisk in oil. Mix in salt and black pepper.
  • 3. 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. Kitchen-Friendly
