Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lbs)
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil (peanut is a good choice and so is rice bran as they both have a high smoke point)
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- teeny squirt of sriracha (totally optional)
- 1/4 tsp lime zest
- 2 tsps fresh lime juice
