We saw this recipe on an episode of Down Home With the Neelys, and decided to take it into our own hands because it looks very delicious… and it is also actually very delicious.

You will need:
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
Onion, if you want some…. we did not
1/3 cup mayo
2 tbsp orange juice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Very simple directions:
1. Add sweet potatoes to a large pot of salted water.
2. Bring to a boil over med-high heat and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.

3. Drain the potatoes and let cool in a colander.
4.Once the potatoes are cool, transfer to a large serving bowl (add onion if you want)
5. In a separate bowl, combine the mayo, orange juice, smoked paprika, cumin and salt and pepper to taste.

6. Pour over the potatoes and thoroughly mix. (Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1 hour for the flavors to meld.)… We thought it was wayyyy better warm, just because of the warm flavors included in it – pepper, cumin, paprika. Judge for yourself!

We made honey soy glazed porkchops with this, which is a different post, but here is our final picture:
