Since everyone I’m talking to these days is in the mood to grill and chill…I thought I’d go back in my archives and share a great recipe I discovered last summer.
This salad is unique and just delicious. It’s pairs up wonderfully with these Jamaican Jerk Chicken Wings and really with anything hot off the grill. The smoky lime dressing is the perfect complement to the sweetness of the grilled potatoes.
Enjoy the recipe and your weekend!
Recipe from epicurious.com
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2-3 scallions, sliced diagonally
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
lime wedges
handful chopped cilantro
Add your sweet potatoes into a large saucepan and cover with cold salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer, covered, and cook until just tender, about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on size of potatoes. Place potatoes in a a colander and run under cold water to cool. With a sharp knife peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
In a small bowl whisk together oil, salt, and cumin and brush some onto both sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil.
Preheat your grill. Grill potato slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and transfer with tongs to a platter. Sprinkle green onion over grilled potatoes. Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes. Serve potato salad with additional lime wedges and chopped cilantro if desired.
Updated: I just wanted to note to keep an eye on your potatoes as they are boiling, you want them firm and not too soft. But you want to parboil them enough to take the bite out of them so they aren’t completely raw on the grill.
Also, according to one of the reviews on epicurious, the potatoes can be boiled and sliced ahead of time and grilled later.

SO book marking this. Sounds delicious. Love sweet tatoes but have never had them on the grill
I’m glad you reposted this recipe. It sounds great. Have you boiled the potatoes earlier in the day and then just grilled and dressed them later?
THis looks delicious! I would have thought that sweet potatoes would be too delicate if boiled first but your picture looks perfect. They stayed together very well! I’m going to try this!
These look delicious. I’m amazed the potatoes didn’t fall apart or stick to the grill. The cumin oil was a stroke of genius.
Nice photos. You just can’t beat grilling veggies.
oh totally lovin this one!
Hooray! A different way to serve the hubby sweet potatoes other than sweet potato souffle! I needed a new recipe
Keep an eye on the potatoes as they are boiling…depending on their size they may not need more than 15 or so minutes, you don’t want them to be too soft.
Great pics and great recipe! We love sweet potatoes like nothing else.
What a great recipe. I’m always on the lookout for a new and different potato salad. Love the sweets and will def. be trying this. Thanks!
I love sweet potatoes and just have to try this. It sounds wonderful with the cumin and lime.
The first time I saw grilled sweet potato was on a Bobby Flay show. I’ve been tempted ever since. Now, thanks to you, I’m going to give it a go. Thank you my friend.
Ok…Love the sound of this baby! Yep…it is workin’ for me! And what a gorgeous blog. Triple yum!!
That recipe looks so good. I love sweet potatoes but have never had them grilled. A great change from roasted or mashed. I love the Caribbean flavors too. What a good summer barbeque salad.
Great photos, they make me want to dig right in
I’m not really sure how I feel about Sweet Potatoes. Some times I like them, sometimes not. These, however, look quite tempting.
Oh my gosh, this looks amazing! I can’t wait to try this!
I love the grill marks on the sweet potatoes, your photos are beautiful!!
This looks great, and I love the pairing with Jamaican jerk.
Wow that looks amazing! The photo looks delicious and the recipe sounds perfect. Yum!

I’ve never had sweet potatoes on the grill before. These look awesome!
Found you on foodgawker. This sweet potato salad looks AMAZING! I'd love to try it out.
