Awesome Marinated Sweet Potato Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 medium sweet potatoes (about 3-1/2 pounds)
1 cup tarragon vinegar or 1 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon honey
2 cloves fresh minced garlic
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 medium green pepper, julienned

Preparation

In a large saucepan, cook sweet potatoes in boiling water, just until tender, about 20 mins (don't overcook, as they will get mushy); cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the next nine ingredients; set aside.
Peel the potatoes, cut into small cubes.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, onion and green pepper.
Add dressing and toss gently to coat.
Cover, and refrigerate for 3 or more hours to blend flavours.
Discard bay leaves before serving.
