Instructions to make Sweet Potato and Bacon Salad:
  1. Chop sweet potato into fat chip-shaped chunks and place in a saucepan of water to bring to the boil.

  3. Shallow fry the bacon in its own fat in a small frying pan (I don't even put any oil in the pan; it just cooks itself!)
  4. Meanwhile, combine the mayo, peanut butter, mustard and soy sauce in a small bowl and set aside

I used a bit more bacon than called for (it was for a party, darnit! Party calories don't count, right?), and added a quarter of a red onion, finely chopped, and a couple small handfuls of chopped green onion for extra bite and crunch.(Omitted the celery due to personal preference) Used those tiny red-skinned potatoes, cut in half – their waxy flesh holds.
