I saw this recipe in a Kroger coupon mailer, of all places. And I had to try it.
I *heart* potato salad. And I *heart* sweet potatoes.
And I now can say that I *double heart* roasted sweet potato salad.
Here’s how you make it…
A sweet and delectable side dish for an upcoming meal!
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad
Such a fun, fresh take on a sweet potato side dish.
Servings - 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large sweet potatoes peeled and diced
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp brown or spicy mustard
- 3-4 Tbsp mayo or miracle whip
- 1/2 tsp dried basil leaves
Instructions
- Place the peeled and diced sweet potatoes in a colander and rinse them with water.
- Dump them into a large bowl and toss with the olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice. Place them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast at 400 F for 25-35 minutes, or until all are soft. Roasting time may vary depending on thickness of the sweet potato pieces. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, and mayo. Stir in the basil leaves. Pour the dressing over top of the sweet potatoes.
- Serve warm, or chill for at least 2 hours and serve chilled.

This looks interesting! How did you like it best, warm or chilled? Is it more like a regular potato salad when it’s chilled?

Not sure if you have Meijer stores where you are, but they have sweet potatoes on sale for $.25/lb this week! Unbelievably cheap 🙂

I do love my sweet taters but not real sure about combining them with mayo….I guess I am more of a “sweet” sweet tater fan more than a savory one. The mustard might give it a different kick but not real sure on this one;-
Next week my store will have sweet potatoes on sale for $.59/lb….not a great price but not awful either.

This week sweet potatoes are on sale for $.18/lb at my Walmart. I’ve already bought 5 0r 6 lbs, but I may have to get more for that price. I can see some sweet potato salad in my future!
