Grilled Sweet Potatoes with

Herb Vinaigrette

This recipe is from Memphis Grills

Ingredients

  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 C olive oil

  • 2 TB balsamic vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1 TB canola oil

Directions

1. Put potatoes in large pot. Cover the potatoes with water, add salt. Boil the potatoes until just cooked but not completely soft, 25 - 30 minutes, depending on the size. Test by piercing a potato with a fork or thin bamboo skewer. If it enters the core of the potato with little resistance, the potatoes are done. Drain them immediately; set aside and let cool.

2. In a tightly covered container, shake olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, salt and pepper together to create the vinaigrette. Set aside.

3. When the potatoes are cool, cut them into 1/2-inch slices; brush both sides of the potato slices with canola oil.

4. Heat Memphis Grill to 400°F with the Indirect Flavorizer in place. Grill the potatoes over indirect heat until slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.

5. Place the grilled potatoes on a platter and pour the vinaigrette over the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle parsley over top.
