CAROLINE'S SOUTHERN SWEET POTATO SALAD........

George and I recently moved to Franklin, Tennessee, a lovely, historic suburb of Nashville.  We attended our first pot luck since arriving last night and I thought I'd try my "nightshade free" sweet potato salad on my new friends. It seemed to be a hit and since I've updated it somewhat from the recipe in "Caroline's No Nightshade Kitchen" cookbook, I want to share it with you here. Hope you enjoy!!
Be well......with all my best wishes!

SOUTHERN (SWEET) POTATO SALAD

Potato salad has been a staple at summer barbeques, picnics, and reunions, in our family for decades. But, without white potatoes? Try this recipe which has everything traditional potato salad has, but sweet potatoes replace white potatoes, making this version “nightshade free.”         Serves 8-10.

4 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in large dice

Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

2-3 tablespoons dried Italian herb mix

2 cups celery, minced

1 cup white onion, medium dice

                     3/4 cup mayonnaise, or as needed

2 heaping tablespoons Dijon mustard

3 hard boiled eggs, chopped

                     1/2 cup dill relish

1/8 cup fresh lemon juice, to taste

 (Substitute:  1-2 slices preserved lemons, minced)

Place potatoes just covered in water, with salt, pepper, and herb mix. Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer until tender but firm, or about 20-25 minutes.  Drain well and mix with remaining ingredients while potatoes are warm.  Adjust seasoning before serving.
