Sweet Potato Salad

From my brother Bobby sent this recipe to me it is a Tricia Yearwood recipe. I made it a day ahead for the lake so flavors would be enhanced. Everyone loved it -raved over it --had seconds and Kevin has eaten leftovers (with seconds!!!!)  for several days after claiming its better and better each day!!

4 large sweet potatoes 

1/2 cup mayonnaise 

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt 

1/2 cup diced scallions (about 6) 

1 red pepper, finely diced 

2 tablespoons minced fresh chives

2 teaspoons orange zest 

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco 

Salt and pepper

1. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes and put them in a large pot. Cover with water, bring to a boil and boil until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. While the potatoes are cooling, in a medium bowl, mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, scallions, red pepper, chives, orange zest, apple cider vinegar and hot sauce. Add the cooled potatoes to the mixture, and toss until the potatoes are fully coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Best served chilled.
