Crispy Sweet Potato Salad with Sweet & Spicy BBQ Sauce
We’ve taken our fan-favorite crispy potato salad and subbed in Japanese sweet potatoes and a tangy BBQ dressing, made with our Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce. Be sure you’re using white sweet potatoes; regular sweet potatoes won’t have enough starch to crisp up in the same way. For optimum crispiness, toss the potatoes with the dressing right when you are ready to serve—these potatoes are best eaten immediately.

INGREDIENTS
- 4 pounds Japanese white sweet potatoes, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup olive oil
- ⅓ cup Momofuku Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- cilantro, chopped
Directions
—
Heat oven to 425°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, 1 tablespoon of Kosher salt, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Cook for 12–13 minutes, until the potatoes are fully cooked and very tender. Drain water.
Return potatoes to pot and toss with olive oil. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the potatoes, until a mashed potato–like paste has collected around each potato. (This will crisp up in baking.) Spread the potatoes on 2 sheet pans, making sure not to crowd them, then roast for 25 minutes.
Remove pans from the oven, gently toss the potatoes, then return to the oven for another 10–15 minutes until they are deeply browned and crisped. Remove from the oven and rest until you are ready to serve.
Meanwhile, stir together the Momofuku Sweet & Spicy Korean BBQ Sauce and the Greek yogurt until smooth.
When you are ready to serve, toss cooked potatoes (they can still be warm) with the dressing. Top with chopped cilantro.
