Sweet Potato Raisin Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook potatoes until they are fork tender in boiling water. Drain the potatoes and cool them completely. Soak the raisins in hot water for 15 minutes and then drain. Combine all the ingredients and mix them thoroughly, but gently. Chill for 24 hours before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a large saucepan, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook for about 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain, and cool slightly.
• In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise and brown sugar. Stir in the sweet potatoes, walnuts and raisins until evenly coated. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potato cubes. Boil about 5-7 minutes just until tender but firm enough to hold their shape. Drain into a colander and rinse under cold water. Drain well. In a large bowl gently toss sweet potatoes with celery, green onions, raisins, pineapple and pecans.
• In medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Gently toss with sweet potato mixture. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

Steps:

• In 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven, place steamer basket; add 1/2 inch water (water should not touch bottom of basket). Place sweet potatoes in basket; cover tightly and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; steam covered 16 to 17 minutes or until tender. Plunge potatoes into ice water until cold; drain.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle walnuts in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until nuts begin to brown, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
• In large bowl, sprinkle apples with sugar and lime juice; toss gently to coat. Stir in sweet potatoes, raisins, salt and 3 tablespoons of the walnuts.
• In small bowl, stir together yogurt and mayonnaise. Pour over sweet potato mixture; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon walnuts. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
