Ingredients
  

For the potato salad

  • 2 large white sweet potatoes chopped (sub orange sweet potato)
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 3 sprigs green onion sliced
  • 3-4 pieces of cooked bacon chopped
  • ½ cup homemade ranch

For the ranch (see notes for storebought)

  • ½ cup paleo mayo sub egg free mayo for AIP
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried chives
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper omit for AIP

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the ingredients for the ranch in a large glass jar and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside in the fridge.
  • Bring a large pot filled two-thirds of the way with water to a low boil over medium heat on a stove top. Add the white sweet potato and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the sweet potato can be easily pierced with a fork. Carefully strain the excess water with a colander and allow the sweet potato to cool completely. Pat dry if needed, and chill for 20-30 minutes in the fridge.
  • Using a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, celery, bacon, and green onion and carefully mix with the ranch, adding 1/4 a cup at a time. Serve chilled with extra ranch on the side.
