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. Note: This recipe can be easily doubled. Source: San Francisco Chronicle
