Yamsweet Potato Cucumber Onion Salad Recipes

POTATO & CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until they are just getting soft, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, drain and cover. Let them sit like this for about 30 minutes.
• In a medium sized bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice, zest and spring onions. Stir well to combine. Reserve a few spring onions and a little lemon zest for garnish.
• When the potatoes have cooled, transfer them to a large serving bowl, add the cucumber and pour over your yogurt mixture. Gently stir in the mixture, careful not to tear apart the potatoes. Once the mixture is completely stirred in, top with a few more spring onions, lemon zest and the mint leaves.
• Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.

YAM (SWEET POTATO) SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot, steam prepared yams 10 to 15 minutes or until tender, then remove from steamer.
• When cool enough to handle, peel yams (if desired; I don't), then place in a large salad bowl.
• While yams cool, combine vinegar, pickle relish, mustard, salt & pepper in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, & shake well.
• Add vegetable oil & shake again, before pouring over yams & tossing them to coat.
• Add green onions & red pepper & either serve at room temperature or chilled.

ARMENIAN-STYLE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Transfer sliced potatoes into a large pot with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by a couple of inches. Stir in 1 rounded tablespoon kosher salt and 2 ½ teaspoons dried mint. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let cook until tender, about 15 minutes, checking every 5 to 6 minutes for doneness. Drain well.
• Transfer cooked potatoes to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
• While potatoes cool, heat ¼ cup olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add red onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir for just 1 minute. Turn off the heat and stir in remaining dried mint.
• Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice into potatoes and toss gently with a spatula. Add green onions, red onion mixture, remaining olive oil, fresh mint, fresh parsley, salt to taste, black pepper, chili flakes, and cayenne. Mix with a spatula until combined.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled and flavors have melded, 3 to 4 hours.
• Unwrap; stir, taste, and adjust seasonings as needed to personal tastes. The salad almost always needs more salt stirred in once it's tasted after being chilled. Serve.
