Ingredients:

1 sweet potato
130g
2 eggs
110g
8 strips bacon
66g
4 tsp dill
4g
2 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
30g
1/4 cup lemon juice
12g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potato:
- Peel the sweet potato and cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the sweet potato cubes, and cook for 7-10 minutes or until tender but not mushy. Drain and let them cool.
2. Cook the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 9-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
- Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Once cooled, peel and chop them into pieces.
3. Cook the Bacon:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the bacon strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sweet potato cubes, chopped eggs, and crumbled bacon.
- Add the chopped dill.
5. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise salad dressing and lemon juice until smooth.

6. Combine and Serve:
- Pour the dressing over the sweet potato, egg, and bacon mixture. Gently toss to combine everything evenly.
- Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Tips:

- When roasting the sweet potato, ensure the pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

- For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 9-12 minutes based on your desired egg yolk consistency.

- For extra crispiness, cook the bacon strips in the oven or air fryer.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice in the dressing to suit your taste preference.

- Garnish with extra fresh dill for added flavor and presentation.
