Wow, I loved this stuff-one of the top three salads I've had in the last year. This is a fantastic combination of textures and tastes. I cut the oil way back but otherwise followed the recipe using the recommended herbs plus oregano, thyme,rosemary and summer savory. If possible, I think it may have been even better the next day as a cold salad.

This is amazingly delicious. The combination of ingredients seems unlikely to produce anything very tasty, but I had to try it anyway. I am amazed. I am eating it right now, enjoying each and every bite!!! I also used less oil, cooked the sweet potatoes 15 minutes longer (maybe I chopped them bigger than the chef) and used more herbs than called for and some salt. Really worth the time to make this if you like unusual tastes in your food.

Served for Memorial Day barbecue and it was much better than "regular" potato salad! I agree that it's much better refrigerated though and next time I'll make it the night before. U.S. conversion: 3 large sweet potatoes or four small ones and cook for 425 degrees.I also used less oil and next time will only use half an onion and dice it extremely finely - don't know if it was that particular onion but the onion was overwhelming.
