Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Lime Cilantro Vinaigrette 

Ingredients

•

4 lb sweet potatoes (8; preferably long)

•

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

•

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

•

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

•

1/2 cup olive oil

•

1/4 cup chopped fresh 

Preparation

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.

Cooks' notes: ·Potatoes can be boiled and peeled 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
·Vinaigrette can be made 2 hours ahead and kept at room temperature.
·If you aren't able to grill, potatoes can be cooked in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning, until grill marks appear, 3 to 6 minutes total.
