Yield
Serves 6 (serving size: about 4 potato wedges and 1/3 cup salsa)
Fresh cherries have a meaty texture that holds up well in a zingy, spicy salsa, much like small tomatoes. Get ahead by steaming and refrigerating the sweet potato wedges, but make the salsa just before you serve so the flavors stay vibrant. Pair this summery side with a traditional barbecue spread or with a taco bar
