Grilled Sweet Potatoes with Creamy Basil Vinaigrette


This was served with the flank steak from yesterday.  I thought that they were very good.  Especially when the grill marks mixed with the vinagrette.  I followed the directions exactly, but next time will boil the potatoes longer.  There was some some rawness to a few of the big pieces.  Overall, delicious!!

Grilled Sweet Potatoes

3 lbs. sweet potatoes (about 4 to 5)
Vegetable cooking spray
Creamy Basil Vinaigrette

Bring potatoes and water to cover to a boil in a large pot.  Cook 12 to 15 minutes or just until slightly tender.  Drain.  Plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.  Drain well.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Peel and cut into wedges.  Place potatoes on cooking grate, that has been sprayed with cooking spray, and grill for 6 or 7 minutes on each side or until grill marks appear.  Drizzle potato wedges with Creamy Basil Vinaigrette, and serve immediately.

Creamy Basil Vinaigrette

1/2 c. plain fat-free yogurt
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinaigrette
2 Tbsp. honey
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
