Ingredients, Vegan Spicy Cilantro Sauce

1 Cup plain soy yogurt or any plain vegan non-dairy yogurt

3 Tablespoons hot or mild salsa

Ingredients, Potatoes

6 Large sweet potatoes, cleaned, with skins intact

6 Large Russet potatoes, cleaned, with skins intact

¼ Cup olive oil

Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Prepare Potatoes

Prepare and light your grill. (You can use a gas grill, but I find it works best over hot coals) Cut your sweet potatoes lengthwise into 8 pieces. Cut your russet potatoes lengthwise into 8 pieces. Place your cut sweet potatoes and russet potatoes on a rimmed baking dish with the skin side down. Brush all cut sides of your potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When the coals on your grill are gray, place the potato spears on the gill with the cut side down. Cook your potatoes for about 8 minutes, turning often, or until they are slightly charred in some spots and cooked through. Test the potato spears with the end of a knife or fork to see if they are soft and cooked through. Remove the potatoes from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve hot with the spicy cilantro dipping sauce.
