GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE



GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH LIME CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE image

Categories     Potato     Side

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 lb sweet potatoes (8; preferably long)
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly resistant in center when pierced with a sharp small knife, 25 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes with a sharp small knife and quarter lengthwise. Prepare grill for cooking. Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in cilantro. When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (over coals if using a charcoal grill), uncovered, turning, until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total. Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with vinaigrette.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: This recipe works best with small, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. They hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russets.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: You want the potatoes to be tender but still slightly firm. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use fresh cilantro and lime: The flavors of cilantro and lime are essential to this recipe. Fresh herbs and citrus always taste best.
  • Don't skip the butter: The butter adds richness and flavor to the potatoes. If you're vegan, you can substitute olive oil.
  • Serve immediately: These potatoes are best served immediately after they're made. They're also delicious at room temperature, so they're great for picnics or potlucks.

Conclusion:

Cilantro lime potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They're perfect for summer gatherings or any time you're looking for a light and refreshing dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a side dish that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy potatoes, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
