INSTRUCTIONS

1.   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.

2.   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.

3. 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.
