Preparation
- Step 1
Cut the sweet potatoes in half, crosswise. Put them in a large pan, and add enough lightly salted water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, and boil gently for 15 to 20 minutes, until just tender. Drain, and let rest until cool enough to handle.
- Step 2
Peel the potatoes, and cut them into chunks or slices. Salt and pepper lightly. Add lemon juice and zest to 1 cup mayonnaise; mix ¾ cup with the potatoes. Mix in scallions, celery and optional green pepper.
- Step 3
Gently mix in the hard-cooked eggs. Add more mayonnaise if desired. Adjust salt and generous amounts of black pepper. Chill slightly and serve.
