Sweet potato salad is the best thing since potato salad.
Wait, scratch that, sweet potato salad is the best thing since itself, because this is way better than regular potato salad. Because it tastes just like Southern potato salad, only there’s no harmful lectins, the mayonnaise is made from avocado oil, and no one would be able to tell.
The key ingredient here is: white sweet potatoes. See, orange sweet potatoes often turn mushy when they’re cooked, but white sweet potatoes, such as Hannah sweet potatoes, are similar in consistency to regular potatoes. They’re fluffy and sturdy, as opposed to being velvety and soft; anytime you see a recipe call for a regular potato, swap that boy out with a white sweet potato for a substitution that’s even better than the original.
All in all, this sweet potato salad is:
- 1-Bowl
- Similar to classic, Southern potato salad
- Creamy & fluffy
- Lightly tangy & infused with dill
- Easy to make
- Perfect for Summer cook-outs
