Sweet potato salad is the paleo answer to potato salad — tender sweet potato cubes tossed with chopped hard-boiled eggs, crisp celery, green onion, and fresh dill. Served cold and creamy, it satisfies every potato salad craving without a grain in sight. It earns a place at every picnic table.

Pro Tips

• Cook the sweet potatoes just until tender, then cool them completely before dressing. Warm potatoes absorb the dressing and turn the salad heavy.
• Dice the sweet potato and egg to similar sizes so every forkful gets a little of everything.
• Fresh minced dill is the flavor signature here — it lifts the sweet potato's sweetness and keeps the salad tasting fresh rather than stodgy.
• Chill the salad at least an hour before serving. Sweet potato salad is one of those dishes that genuinely tastes better cold and rested.
