Sure, you can make it all year if you like, but this sweet potato chips salad is absolutely perfect for Pesach.
Last year on Pesach, we took the kids to visit our aunt Ruchy B. Whenever we visit, she always prepares way too much food and loads of variety. This sweet potato chips salad was one of our favorites. We polished it right off and although you can easily make this all year round, it’s perfect for Pesach.
