Several years ago my sister in law started making a potato salad recipe that she found in a magazine. It is made with grated potatoes and has a sweet dressing with hard boiled eggs, chopped celery. Our family loves this recipe and we have made triple batches many times the last three years. We have shared the recipe with dozens of friends. My wife does not like regular potatoes. She doesn’t like mashed potatoes, most French fries, baked potatoes, or any other form of russet potato, red potato, Idaho potato, spuds, or tators. She is not even a fan of hash browns or tator tots. She does love sweet potatoes and yams. For many years sweet potato or yams were only served for holidays since we grew up in the North. However she loved sweet potatoes so much we started making traditional Thanksgiving style sweet potatoes throughout the year. Then we had Sweet Potato Fries at Ruby Tuesday’s and I started thinking about the ways we could use Sweet Potatoes to make dishes that she might really love.
