Grilled Sweet-Potato Salad
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 scallion
- 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- lime wedges
- 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves
- Suggested additions: toasted pecans, cooked sausage, or, to dressing, chopped chipotle chili in adobo sauce
- In a large saucepan cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch and simmer, covered, until just tender, about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes.
- In a colander drain potatoes and rinse under cold water to cool.
- With a sharp knife peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
- While potatoes are boiling, prepare grill.
- In a small bowl whisk together oil, salt, and cumin and brush some onto both sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil.
- Grill slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and transfer with tongs to a platter.
- Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle over potatoes.
- Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes.
- Serve potato salad with lime wedges and sprinkled with coriander.
