- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them very thinly. Drop the slices into cold water to prevent discolouration. Make a stack of slices a few at a time and cut them into matchsticks. Drop these in a saucepan of cold water. Add salt to taste and bring to the boil. Simmer two minutes and drain. Rinse with cold water and chill.
- Combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cayenne to taste.
- Thinly slice the cheese then cut into matchsticks the same way you did the potatoes. Cut the prosciutto into thin strips.
- Add the potatoes, cheese and prosciutto to the mayonnaise and gently toss. Chill until serving.
