That's fine, but it changes the taste of what could be a great gumbo on its own.
Just like the people who shite on crawfish dip. It's a condiment. Do you eat a hamburger with just meat and bread?

See it every day in Ville Platte.
My grandparents have local Fontenot Farms (E&L) sweet potatoes with just about every meal.

It's a very Cajun thing and I think it's more with home cooks. Never seen it on a restaurant menu. I was talking to a woman who was higher up with Rouses (she had to be from the New Orleans area based on her accent) and she never heard about sweet potatoes in gumbo.
I've never tried potato salad in gumbo. It kind of grosses me out, putting mayo and mustard in a gumbo. Or do you make a special kind of potato salad without condiments?

You dont have to put potato salad in the bowl. Most people out some in a plate and take a bite of gumbo then potato salad. Some people do put potato salad in their bowl but it ain't that many in my experience.

It's on the side. Take a spoonful and then get a spoonful of gumbo on top.

I boil my potatoes in crab boil, add finely diced shallots and celery, then some mayo and Creole mustard, and salt to taste. Mine isn't a heavy mayo/mustard potato salad. Looks pretty much like this, but I have it on the side, not in the gumbo:

How much peanut butter was in the gumbo?

I've tried it, but gumbo is good enough most of the time in its own. If it was mediocre then I can see putting potato salad in it.

There is a feature article in the Washington Post about Gumbo.
That was a good article about how foods like spaghetti and meatballs, California roll, gumbo, etc. often associated with other countries or cultures were developed in the US.
It mentioned that the first printed reference to gumbo in New Orleans was a few years before the Cajun migration from up north.

Me too and still live there. This thread is the first time I’ve ever heard of sweet potatoes with gumbo. It sounds delicious and I will try it next time I make a gumbo
