- Start layering the sliders by putting one piece of the sweet potatoes on the bottom, then add 1 tsp of honey dijon mustard, a piece of meat and cover with another slice of sweet potato. Place a toothpick in the middle or any fancy bamboo skewers for sandwiches to connect everything together. If you want to give some color to the sliders you can place some fresh parsley between the layers and some vegetables.9 tsp honey dijon mustard
