Wonderful! My husband "doesn't like sweet potatoes" and went back for seconds of this!! I added a little Carribean Jerk seasoning for a kick! Outstanding!!

This was phenomenally good! I made it with sweet potato as the only vegetable and it was awesome! My husband usually doesn't care for sweet potato but he gobbled up this and even ate leftovers the next day! We thought it was best at room temp.

I just served this with a grilled pork loin on a very hot evening and it was perfect. I scooped the seeds out of the cucumber before I chopped it, I think that help keep it from watering the salad down. I also used peeled Yukon Golds. I am not a cilantro fan, but it was needed in this and the taste is not overpowering. I did all the prep. the day before, then a couple of hours before serving I put all of the components together to let the flavors meld. It tasted very fresh, but the potato had a chance to absorb some of the dressing flavor. I will definitely make this again.

This recipe is delicious! Different than the ordinary potato salad dishes. I made it exactly as the recipe states, and everyone at our family picnic loved it! Will definitely make this again.

I have made this recipe twice. Once exactly as written and once with all sweet potatoes and very little oil. I loved it both times. I brought it to a party and people literally raved about it and called it the best potato salad in the world. I think it is a such a nice alternative to a mayo based salad and it has great flavors. I serve it with jerk chicken.

I reallly liked this!! And I was suprised that the kiddos and the hubby did too, considering they only seem to eat chicken and pb&j sandwiches. I made this for the cookout I am attending tonight, but I had to sample it of course and I let the family tsate it too. I added a lot more garlic, salt, pepper and mustard because I like my food with a ton of seasoning.I also used Yukon GOlds. YUM!

Very good recipe, very tasty. I did not have all the ingredients so I had to substitute. I substituted the canola oil with olive oil and I did not have peanuts but I had crushed almonds. I recommend it. I will be making this quite often.

This potato salad is very good but if you are going to eat it the next day the cucumbers get soggy.

It was so delicious! I used olive oil instead of canola, and I also added an extra half tsp of dijon mustard. Next time I think I'll use a bigger sweet potato and smaller white potato. Loved it.

This was really good! The ingredients went well together and I was asked for the recipe by both people that I let taste it. :-) I will be making this again.

This salad is always a big hit! I double it and use all sweet potatoes (usually 5 medium sized). I slice a large red onion as thinly as possible- it is great for flavor and texture in this dish. I also halve and de-seed the cucumbers before slicing. Leaving the seeds in the cucs would water-down the salad a lot, especially it you are making it a day ahead. Cooking the potatoes to the proper consistency is most important: I cut the potatoes before I boil and cook just until the potato can be cut with a fork and then blanch in cold water. I mix in the dressing and let it refrigerate overnight. This isn't necessary, but I like how the flavors mellow and meld together overnight. I find the amount of dressing to be perfect, but I make a little extra to add right before serving and grind on some sea salt and black pepper. If I was making this just for myself, I would also add some freshly ground red pepper flake, but not everyone likes spice, so I leave it out. A wonderful, refreshing dish for BBQs, picnics and parties. I love it and make it all year long!

This was just fabulous. Instead of boiling the potatoes, I cut them up (used 1 white and 2 sweet) in bite-sized chunks, put them in one layer in a glass casserole dish, covered with water and microwaved for 8 minutes. I followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it was even better than I had hoped!

This recipe is absolutely DELICIOUS!! Whoever gives this a neg review must have the most boring taste buds. I made it to compliment my jerk chicken and I loved it and so did my husband. Very easy and tasty.

Whole family loved this. My daughter hates sweet potatoes but she loved them this way! Hubby is diabetic and cant have white taters so I sub all sweet taters. Diabetics can have sweet taters cause they are low on the glycemic index. FIL loved it too. He tends to not like new things but he asked for the recipe! Really yummy. I doubled the sauce too. I liked that it didn't have a creamy mayo based dressing. I might add some heat next time. THANK YOU for sharing!
