Just to clarify, I mean the type of sweet potato commonly called "yams" that are not a nightshade.
Picnic Worthy Sweet Potato Salad with Walnuts and Raisins
2 sweet potatoes (about 4 cups)
2/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup broken walnut
meats (pecans would be great in this!)4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon parsley
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt (I make mine from scratch with no sugar or msg or Adobo
)1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cloves
Rinse the potatoes (yams) and cut off any bad spots. Immerse them completely in cool water in a pot with a lid and bring them to a boil over medium heat. Simmer them for about 20 minutes or until they pierce easily with a fork. Drain off the hot water and immerse them completely in cold water until they are cool. The skins should slip off easily at this point. Discard the skins and chop the sweet potatoes into bite sized pieces. Add the remaining ingredients with the chopped potatoes to a salad bowl and stir them well. Chill the salad until it is ready to be served. Makes about 8 servings.
