    Source of Recipe


    saras secrets/ food tv

    List of Ingredients




    2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4, preferably long)
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    1/4 cup olive oil
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

    Recipe



    Cover potatoes with cold water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly resistant in center when pierced with a sharp small knife, 25 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes with a sharp small knife and quarter lengthwise.
    Prepare grill for cooking.

    Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in cilantro.

    When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (over coals if using a charcoal grill), uncovered, turning, until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total.

    Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with vinaigrette.

    Cooks' notes:
    Potatoes can be boiled and peeled 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
    Vinaigrette can be made 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
    If you aren't able to grill, potatoes can be cooked in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning, until grill marks appear, 3 to 6 minutes total.
