Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes, unpeeled
Kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 cup canola oil
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Parcook the potatoes: Place in a pot of water and boil until fork-tender; let cool. Slice each potato lengthwise into eighths.

Preheat a grill to medium or place a cast-iron grill pan over medium heat. Mix 1 tablespoon salt, the lime zest and cayenne in a small bowl.

Brush the potato wedges with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on all sides (including the skin) and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; immediately season with the salt mixture and sprinkle with cilantro.

Awesome
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these last night for my husband and his friend, the lime salt was perfect. I didn't measure how much lime zest I... used- I zested 2 whole limes into 1 tbsp kosher salt. I forgot to add the cayenne though. We also used the lime salt on a flank steak I grilled along side it. Perfect!Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this last night and thought the potatoes were too salty. Next time, I would use half as much salt in the zest... mixture. Husband loved them and I would definitely make again. Made with Giada's Sea Bass alla Fiorentina. Read more

Loved them!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fantastic!! I did not add the salt to the wedges before grilling, just the pepper. I thought there was enough salt in the... salt/zest/cayenne mix. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. Made them two nights in a row, they were so goodRead more
