Ingredients
4 lb sweet potatoes (8; preferably long)1/4 cup fresh lime juice1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt1/4 teaspoon black pepper1/2 cup olive oil1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until slightly resistant in center when pierced with a sharp small knife, 25 to 30 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain well. When cool enough to handle, peel potatoes with a sharp small knife and quarter lengthwise.
Prepare grill for cooking.
Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in cilantro.
When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds), grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (over coals if using a charcoal grill), uncovered, turning, until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total.
Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with vinaigrette.
Number of Servings: 16

The "dressing" is really tasty. Don't make the same mistake I did, though, and over-boil the sweet potatoes. I ended up with mashed sweet potatoes with the dressing as a cold "gravy" instead of nice sweet potato spears. I'll be trying this again, maybe only boiling for 15 minutes and then grilling. - 5/11/09
