Sweet Potato Salad

This recipe sounds so good. I think it would be really great in the fall when sweet potatoes are in season. This was clipped from the newspaper several years ago. Cook time includes chill time.

• Ready In: 23 mins
• Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 2  cups sweet potatoes, cooked, cubed
• 1  cup pineapple, cubed, drained
• 1  cup mandarin orange, drained
• 1  cup  whipped cream
• 1⁄2 cup coconut
• 2  tablespoons maraschino cherries, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup  minature marshmallows (optional)

Directions

1. Cook 2-3 medium size sweet potatoes in their skins with a dash of salt until tender.
2. Then refrigerate them until chilled, before peeling and cubing.
3. Now carefully mix in a large bowl the potatoes with their other ingredients.
4. Add a salad dressing of whipped cream. Then allow the salad to chill for 2-3 hours (the longer, the better).
5. The oranges, cherries and cream make a pretty combination as well as a delicious taste.
