Grilled Sweet- Potato Salad

 

A quick-to-prepare salad...
 

2½ lbs 

 

sweet potatoes

 

¼ cup 

 

olive oil

 

1 tsp 

 

salt

 

1 tsp 

 

ground cumin

 

1 whole 

 

scallion

 

2 tsp 

 

fresh lime juice

 

 

 

lime wedges

 

¼ cup 

 

fresh coriander leaves

 

 

1

Boil potatoes: In a large saucepan, cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1-inch and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15-30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. In a colander, drain potatoes and rinse under cold water to cool. With a sharp knife peel potatoes and cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.

2

While potatoes are boiling, prepare grill. In a small bowl whisk together oil, salt and cumin and brush some onto both sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil.

3

Grill slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and transfer with tongs to a platter. Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle over potatoes. Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes. Serve potato salad with lime wedges and sprinkled with coriander.
