Ingredients for Roasted Sweet-Potato Spears with Bacon Vinaigrette

• 1.8kg medium sweet potatoes (about 7)

• 230g sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips

• 1 tesked salt

• 1/2 teaspoons black pepper

• 60 ml extra jungfruolja

• 3 spring onions, thinly sliced, reserving sliced greens separately

• 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar

• 1 tablespoon water

Put oven rack in upper third of oven and preheat oven to 232°C.

Peel sweet potatoes, then cut each lengthwise into 6 spears. Cut spears in half crosswise if desired, then arrange in 1 layer in a large (17- by 12-inch) shallow baking pan.

Cook bacon in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until browned and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, then pour bacon fat through a fine-mesh sieve onto potato spears and toss with 2 spatulas to coat. Sprinkle spears with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and roast (uncovered), turning every 15 to 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and edges are browned, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a serving dish.

Return bacon to cleaned skillet, then add oil and heat over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in white part of spring onions and remove from heat. Stir in vinegar, water, remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoons pepper and pour over potato spears. Sprinkle potatoes with spring onion greens and serve warm.
