    Wonderful salad: gave up on potatoes a long time ago in favour of the ‘other’ kind [not really potatoes, of course!]. Lovely, but I almost do not need the eggs: enough joy in the rest!!

  9. Summer or winter, I’d enjoy this salad.

    What a great idea! I’m the only one in our house that likes sweet potatoes, but that only means there would be more for me. 🙂

    Oh excellent match up. I love sweet potatoes and that honey mustard matches them so well. Add in the green from the spinach and it looks perfect.

    Hi Ang,
    I am a Kiwi but live in the USA. I do not agree that the kumara is equivalent to the sweet potato in the USA. Kumara has a very distinctive taste. Only wish I could get them here.

    I always look for a sweet potato and just fry it, or sometimes with sugar, but now I learned a new recipe for a substitute for my plain fried sweet potato.

    Do you boil, fry or grill the potatoes or use them raw?
