When we were in Hawaii we went to a buffet restaurant at the Polynesian Cultural Center where a potato salad was offered that was made from the purple yam, or sweet potato and it was delicious. Only recently did I learn that purple yams come from Okinawa!It was on Okinawa that I first tried "ube" (or purple sweet potato) ice cream. Yummy!
Okinawan Sweet Potato Salad:
1 1/2-2 lbs. Purple Yams, peeled and cubed
1 C. Celery, chopped
1/2 C. Sweet Onion, chopped
1/3 C. Mayo, good quality
2 T. Olive Oil
2 T. Coconut Oil
2 T. Apple Cider Vinegar, good quality
1 T. Lemon Juice
1 T. Chives
1 T. Parsley
Salt, to taste
Boil yams 5-7 minutes or till cooked but not mushy. Drain and add remaining ingredients while yams are still warm. Combine thoroughly and chill overnight.
