That sounds delicious. I love sweet potatoes, and bacon.

I should add- its good with chopped pecans instead of macadamias (kind of loses the "aloha" factor though!)

I frequently add sliced green onions too, both for color and flavor...

Sounds really good. I'm glad it doesn't have too much mayo either!

Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I think roasted pine nuts would be good as well. I always have those.

This sounds so very good. I love sweet potatoes more savory. Usually I like them with grilled onions and peppers and some sweet baby Ray's bbq sauce on top.I sure will try this.

So do you dice the potatoes before cooking and how small?

debc, I like them about the same size (or a little smaller) as the pineapple chunks- sort of an aesthetic thing with me..

This is great at barbecues!
