Sweet Potato Salad (Louisiana) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb sweet potato
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1/2 cup onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake sweet potatoes 45 to 60 minutes, or until almost tender ~ DO NOT OVER BAKE or they will be mushy. Remove from oven & allow to cool.
Cut the potatoes into small chunks (peeled or not!), then put them into a large bowl.
To the bowl add the celery, onion, parsley & cranberries, stirring carefully to combine.
In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice & olive oil, then carefully toss this oil mixture with the potato mixture before salting to taste.
