For years now, this has been my only ceviche recipe. I don't grill the sweet potato either, just boil it. Otherwise, this is truly an authentic concotion.

I don't use lemon juice and I use halibit or sea bass if I can find it. No seaweed is used in Peruvian chieve. Boil the sweet potatoe.

We love Ceviche, we truly enjoyed the clean and fresh flavor of this recipe, I roasted the sweet potatoes instead of grilling and they were awesome. I also used baked tostadas as crunchies to eat with the ceviche and I also added fresh avocados to the dish. Thanks food network.
