SWEET POTATOES GRILLED WITH LIME CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE 

8 long sweet potatoes 
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 

Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil. Simmer until barely tender (25-30 minutes), then transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop cooking, drain well. When cool, and quarter lengthwise.

Prepare hot grill for cooking. Whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper and add oil in a slow stream, whisking, then whisk in cilantro. 
Grill potatoes in 2 or 3 batches on lightly oiled grill rack (or on ridged grill pan) until grill marks appear and potatoes are just tender, 3 to 6 minutes total. Serve potatoes warm or at room temperature, drizzled with vinaigrette. Makes 16 servings
