Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (3 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch pieces (8 cups)

  • 3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

  • 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice

  • 1 scallion, trimmed, thinly sliced diagonally

  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 1/4 cup safflower or grapeseed oil

  • 1/2 scallion (dark-green part only), thinly sliced diagonally for garnish

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, and return to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk vinegar, orange zest and juice, 1 scallion, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Season with pepper. Toss dressing with sweet potatoes in a large bowl, and garnish with remaining 1/2 scallion. Refrigerate until chilled, up to 1 day.
