Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2/3 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp sliced almonds
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 1/2- lb piece smoked ham , such as black forest, diced
3 scallions including green tops, sliced thin
3 tbsp cider vinegar or red
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh-ground black pepper
1 head red leaf lettuce (about 1 lb), torn into bite-size pieces (about 3 quarts)

Directions:

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and boil until just tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large glass or stainless-steel bowl.
In a small frying pan, heat the 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the almonds and curry powder and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the nuts to the bowl with the sweet potatoes and add the ham and scallions.
In a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, whisk the vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the remaining 2/3 cup oil slowly, whisking. Toss half the dressing into the sweet-potato mixture.
Toss the lettuce into the remaining dressing. Put on plates and top with the potato salad.
Variation:: The curried nuts and ham make great complements to sweet potatoes, but they're excellent with regular boiling potatoes, too.
Wine Recommendation: The sweetness of the potatoes, the spice of the curry, and the saltiness of the ham all point toward gewürztraminer as the wine of choice. Try a not-too-dry example from Alsace or Washington State for a match made in heaven.
