2 pounds garnet sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 red onion, halved and sliced thin
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
-- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions: Place sweet potato slices in a pot and cover with cold, lightly
salted water. Bring slowly to a boil, and let simmer until potatoes are
tender but still hold their shape, about 10-15 minutes. Drain carefully
and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add half of the onions,
and saute until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the mustard, red wine
vinegar and syrup, and stir until incorporated. Let simmer for about 2 minutes.
Add the apples, stir to combine, and remove from heat. Mix gently with the
cooked sweet potatoes and remaining onions, and season to taste with salt
and pepper. Sprinkle chives on top, and toss to combine.
