- 2 Japanese sweet potatoes (or regular ones if you cant find the Japanese kind)
- 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup red onion, medium dice
- 1/4 teaspoon finely minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon pickled chiles, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon dried chile flakes
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped parsley
- Maldon sea salt
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Coat sweet potatoes with a very light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
- Roast the potatoes, wrapped in foil, until totally tender.
- Switch oven to broil, remove potatoes from foil and blister under broiler until lightly charred.
- Cool to room temperature, and then cut in half or in 1/2-inch rounds.
- Set aside.
- Mix together yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and half the olive oil until smooth.
- Divide between 4 plates.
- Mix remaining lemon, olive oil and other ingredients into a salsa, and adjust seasoning with kosher salt.
- Warm sweet potatoes in oven, then plate each half (or an even number of rounds).
- Top with salsa and sprinkle with Maldon salt.
- A little additional oil is good, too.
