Sweet potatoes become unexpectedly sophisticated when dressed warm with sherry vinegar and honey, a technique that mirrors Turkish mezze traditions where vegetables are cooked then cooled in sharp, sweet dressings. The shallots and spring onions add necessary bite against the potato's natural richness, while chives brighten each forkful. This approach transforms a humble root vegetable into something you'll find yourself making repeatedly.

Instructions

step 1 Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Toss the sweet potato chunks with the olive oil and some seasoning, and spread on a baking parchment-lined baking sheet.

Roast for 30 - 35 mins until tender and golden.

Cool at room temperature. step 2 When just about cool whisk together all the dressing ingredients with a little more seasoning and gently toss through the potato chunks – use your hands to avoid breaking them up..
