Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut fish into 0.5-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Pour lime juice over, stirring gently to coat evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Let fish sit in lime juice for 8–10 minutes until the flesh turns opaque and flakes easily when pressed.

  3. Step 3

    While fish cures, slice red onion into thin rings and peel, cube sweet potato into 0.5-inch pieces.

  4. Step 4

    Boil sweet potato cubes in salted water for 5–6 minutes until just tender but still firm; drain and cool.

  5. Step 5

    Drain most of the lime juice from the cured fish, leaving just enough to coat. Fold in red onion, sweet potato, cilantro, salt, and pepper.

  6. Step 6

    Serve ceviche in bowls with crispy plantain chips alongside for scooping.
