ingredients
1 large russet potato, peeled and quartered
1 large sweet potato, peeled and quartered
1 cup corn kernels
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 clove minced garlic
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, sliced into thin half-rounds
1/2 red onion, sliced thin
1/4 cup finely chopped dry-roasted unsalted peanuts
directions
Put the russet potato pieces into a large saucepan, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil then lower heat and cook for 5 minutes at medium.
Add the sweet potato pieces and cook an additional 20 minutes. Test each potato to see if cook (slightly firm but not breaking apart). Add corn kernels and cook 30 seconds more. Quickly drain in a colander.
Fill the saucepan with cold water (a few ice cubes wouldn't hurt) and return potato/corn mixture to the cold water for 5 minutes (this stops the cooking process on the potatoes).
In a large bowl, combine the mustard, lime juice, cilantro and garlic; whisk. Slowly add the oil while whisking; add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper).
Drain the cooled potato/corn mixture in a colander again. Now cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add the potatoes, corn, cucumber and onion slices to the vinaigrette. Mix well and serve chilled with a sprinkling of chopped peanuts

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This is really unique with the sweet potato, cucumber, and corn and all that but the flavors and textures really come together nicely. If you are looking for something unique I recommend this recipe.

when you make this, double the recipe. It's good the next day so plan on leftovers.
