This sweet potato salad recipe is an unusual addition to the German potato salad recipes. Sweet potatoes (yams) are not usually thought of as a German vegetable.
Yet they do find their way to our dinner table and that was thanks to my daughter-in-law, Sylvie. In her recipe below, the sweet potatoes simply replace part of the regular potatoes. The resulting potato salad looks so pretty with the pieces of orange sweet potatoes peeking through.
Cook the sweet potatoes in their jackets just like the regular potatoes. They will take a little longer, about 30 minutes. Cook until just tender.
For this salad, both types of potatoes are peeled and then chopped. Check out how to hard boil eggs if you need help making the eggs.
