Potato And Yam Salad Recipes

THE BEST SWEET POTATO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the cornichons or relish, mustard, honey, celery, lemon zest and juice and red onion. Season with salt and pepper and let sit while the potatoes cook.
• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Season the water generously with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander, put back in the saucepan, add the vinegar and, using a rubber spatula, toss gently to combine.
• Add the mayonnaise, chives and parsley to the celery-onion mixture and stir to combine. Add the warm potatoes to the dressing and toss. Season to taste. Garnish with extra chives and parsley.

SWEET POTATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Toss the sweet potatoes in a large bowl with the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Stir the potatoes and continue to bake until fork-tender, an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely.
• In a large bowl, combine the cooled sweet potatoes, arugula and scallions. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice and Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss the dressing with the sweet potato and arugula mixture to coat.

SWEET & WHITE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Bring 1-1/2 qt. water to boil in large saucepan. Add new potatoes; cook 3 min. Add sweet potatoes; cook 10 min. or until all potatoes are tender. Drain potatoes; place in large bowl. Cool.
• Mix mayo, mustard, honey and pepper. Add to potatoes with remaining ingredients; mix lightly.
• Refrigerate 1 hour.

YAM (SWEET POTATO) SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot, steam prepared yams 10 to 15 minutes or until tender, then remove from steamer.
• When cool enough to handle, peel yams (if desired; I don't), then place in a large salad bowl.
• While yams cool, combine vinegar, pickle relish, mustard, salt & pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, & shake well.
• Add vegetable oil & shake again, before pouring over yams & tossing them to coat.
• Add green onions & red pepper & either serve at room temperature or chilled.

POTATO AND YAM SALAD

Steps:

• Place the Yukon potatoes into a saucepan and cover with cold water (leave enough room for the yam). Add 1 teaspoon sea salt and bring to a boil.
• Add Garnet yam (all the potatoes and yam should still be covered by the water) into the saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes or until done.
• While simmering the potatoes and yam, chop all the veggies, ham and tarragon.
• Drain the potatoes and yam. Mash them all together in a large bowl.
• Add mayonnaise, ground black pepper and all finely chopped ingredients into the same bowl. Stir until even.
• Add more sea salt or pepper, if desired. Let the salad stay in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
