This was a delicious combination. I'm not sure how kumara differ from sweet potatoes - the sweet potatoes available to me are denser than potatoes, so I roasted both at the same time, and they came out nicely tender at the same time. I prefer to cook the bacon as full strips, and then cut them up with kitchen scissors - I find it less messy. As I cannot permit myself to have 2 kg of potato products available to eat, I used but a single potato and a single sweet potato. I made about a third of the dressing. The dressing tastes strongly of mustard, which you may or may not like. The amount of dressing might not be enough if you make the full recipe, but fortunately it takes but a minute to make. I made about 1/3rd of it. All in all, this is a good combination of ingredients.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
