Ingredients
- About 2 lb sweet potato peeled & cubed into 1/2" cubes
Orange Dressing
- 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 3/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- 1 Tbsp fresh squeezed orange juice use the same orange you zested
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans lightly toasted
- *optional-chopped green onion
Instructions
- Place cubed sweet potato in a pot of salted cold water covering the potatoes. Boil potatoes for 10-15 minutes or until just knife tender. (For me the cook is just right at about 10 mins at sea level)
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a small bowl whisk together cider vinegar through orange juice.
- Once the potatoes are done, immediately run the potatoes under cold water in a colander for at least 1/2 minute. Let drain and cool 1-2 mins.
- Add sweet potato to mixing bowl and stir in orange dressing.
- Once all of the potatoes are coated, gently fold in pecans and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve immediately if wanting a warm side.
- If serving cold, chill in fridge for 1hr or freezer for 30 mins.
- Enjoy!
