SWEET POTATO WALDORF SALAD

Sweet Potato Waldorf Salad image

I came up with this recipe when I promised to bring a potato salad to a picnic but had no regular potatoes on hand. The sweet potatoes were there, so I revised my regular potato salad recipe and a new dish was born! Adding the apples was an inspired touch, and the dish was a hit.-Lois Jeffery, Chesterland, Ohio
