Roasted Sweet Potato Salad – creamy and packed with flavor

For years we’ve been making Roasted Potato Salad using either red or white potatoes so when Barry ran across a similar recipe that uses sweet potatoes, he just had to give it a try.
He made a few adjustments to the original recipe that can be found on the Better Homes and Gardens website. It's yummy!
