Sweet Potato Salad

Judy from Hawaii's Note:

I am not sure how readily available Okinawan sweet potatoes are. This salad would probably taste just as good with just yellow sweet potatoes, but if you can get the purple ones too, please do use them. The peppers & two colors of potatoes makes for a visually appealing salad.
