MOLOKAI SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until just fork-tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold running water.
• When cool, combine the potatoes, pineapple, onion, and bell pepper in a large bowl.
• In the bowl of a blender, combine the egg and lime juice. With the machine running on high speed, add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream. When all the oil has been added and the mixture is thickened, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and cayenne, and process 30 seconds to combine. Pour the mayonnaise over the potato mixture and toss well to combine. Add the cilantro and toss again. Cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to marry.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast until tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through cooking so the potatoes cook evenly.
• Place the onion on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the onion tightly in the foil and roast until tender and lightly golden brown, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and macadamia oil. Combine the potatoes and onions in a large bowl. Add the lime juice mixture and toss well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
