Ingredients
- Cubed sweet potatoes weighing 2 pounds
- A dollop of mayonnaise, measuring 1 cup
- Brown sugar, tightly packed in ½ cup
- Walnuts, chopped into small pieces filling 1 cup
- Raisins in ½ cup proportions
Step 1
Start by placing the potatoes in a generously-sized saucepan and covering them with enough water. Allow the water to come to a gentle boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender, which usually takes about 8 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water and let the potatoes cool for a bit.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, mix together the creamy mayonnaise with the rich brown sugar. Add in the sweet potatoes, crunchy walnuts, and juicy raisins, stirring until everything is perfectly coated. For the best flavor, refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour before serving.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place, away from onions and garlic which can cause them to sprout faster.
- 2. Store your salad dressing separately from the sweet potatoes to maintain their texture and prevent sogginess.
- 3. For a pop of color and added nutrients, consider adding vibrant bell peppers or cherry tomatoes to your salad. Store them in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator for freshness.
