Doug’s German Sweet Potato Salad
Since you can’t eat potatoes on SB, I tend to experiment with sweet potatoes as a substitute. This German-style potato salad recipe, made with sweet potatoes is served warm, and is actually pretty tasty. Serves 4-8.
4 medium sweet potatoes, washed, peeled, and cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 slices bacon, cooked crispy, crumbled
1/3 cup canola or light olive oil
2 T. cider vinegar
1/2 t. black pepper
Saute onion in oil until translucent. Boil sweet potato slices in lightly salted water until cooked just soft enough to divide a slice against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon. Drain well in
a collander and transfer to a large bowl. Add bacon, onion and oil to cooked sweet potatoes and toss to mix. Splash in cider vinegar while continuing to toss. Add black pepper to taste. Serve while still warm.
Alternately, for more flavor, saute the onion in the bacon drippings, then use the drippings in place of part of the oil.
