Emeril Lagasses Grilled Sweet Potato Salad Recipes

GRILLED SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper and toss with enough olive oil to coat. Grill the potatoes until caramelized, about 4 minutes per side. Place them on the top rack and close the grill, allowing them to finish cooking through, about 20 minutes more. Remove the potatoes from the grill and allow them to come to room temperature.
• To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the vinegar, capers, honey, mustard and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Dice the potatoes into large chunks and toss in a bowl with the scallions and walnuts. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dress the potatoes with enough vinaigrette to coat the salad. Top with the apples, chives, sesame seeds, cilantro and parsley and serve.

MIXED GRILL WITH A WARM POTATO AND CHORIZO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the grill. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the sausages (except for the kiebasa and chorizo) for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the sausages are plump. Remove the sausages from the water and place on a 1/2 sheet pan. Brush the sausages, including the kiebasa, with olive oil. Place the sausages on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, render the chorizo for 3 minutes. Add the onions and continue the saute for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the garlic and mustard. Add the potatoes and saute for 3 minutes or until the potatoes are heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the parsley. To serve, mound the potato salad in the center of the platter. Arrange the grilled sausages around the potato salad. Serve with crusty bread and a side of Creole mustard.

EMERIL'S FAVORITE POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, cool, then cut the potatoes into halves.
• In a large mixing bowl combine potatoes with all remaining ingredients and gently toss to combine. Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a sheet pan and roast until tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes. Shake the pan halfway through cooking so the potatoes cook evenly.
• Place the onion on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the onion with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap the onion tightly in the foil and roast until tender and lightly golden brown, about 50 minutes to 1 hour. Cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and macadamia oil. Combine the potatoes and onions in a large bowl. Add the lime juice mixture and toss well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

BACON POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Method:
• Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil. Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
• Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a salad bowl. While the potatoes are still warm, season them with the salt, cayenne, black pepper and lemon juice. Toss well to combine. Add the celery, green onions, parsley and eggs.
• In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise and mustard together. Add this to the salad. Sprinkle the bacon over the salad, and toss gently but thoroughly to mix well.
