Description

Shake up your potluck ‘tater salad routine with this Thai-inspired sweet potato salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise (or Vegan Mayonnaise)
  • 2 Tablespoons Lime Juice (plus Extra Lime For Garnish, Optional)
  • 2 teaspoons Roasted Red Chili Paste (See Note)
  • 1 teaspoon Tamari (or Soy Sauce, Plus More To Taste)
  • 1 Tablespoon Grated Ginger (use A Microplane Or Fine Grater)
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • ¼ teaspoons Dried Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 Tablespoons Hot Mustard (such As Kame Brand)
  • 2 pounds Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed (1/2")
  • ½ cups Frozen, Shelled Edamame, Thawed
  • 2 whole Scallions, White And Light Green Parts Thinly Sliced (slice And Reserve Darker Green Tops For Garnish, If Desired)
  • 3 Tablespoons Chopped Cilantro, Plus More For Garnish
  • 3 whole Hard Boiled Eggs, Peeled And Coarsely Chopped
  • ⅓ cups Roasted Peanuts, Chopped (optional Garnish)

Preparation

If time permits, make the dressing up to a day in advance so the flavors have time to blend and deepen. To do so, stir together the mayonnaise, lime juice, chili paste, tamari, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and hot mustard. Taste and add tamari a little at a time if more salt is needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble the salad.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes, return to a low boil, and cook until tender. Check the potatoes after 5 minutes–they should be done or nearly done, piercing easily all the way through with a fork or paring knife. Drain the potatoes, rinse with cool water to stop further cooking, then set the strainer in the refrigerator to cool them quickly.

To assemble the salad, gently stir together the cooked, cooled potato pieces, edamame, sliced scallions, chopped cilantro, hard boiled eggs, and dressing. Try not to smash any of the potato pieces. Garnish with any combination of peanuts, scallion tops, cilantro leaves, and lime slices.

Note: Roasted red chili paste lends a warm, not so much spicy, flavor to the dressing. It rounds out the full effect of the dressing, so try to find it! Thai Kitchen brand, which I used, can be found in many mainstream grocery stores.
