Gasp… potatoes… but potatoes are not Paleo! Actually, potatoes are Paleo, just like sweet potatoes. I’m not sure how they got blacklisted from the mainstream version of the Paleo diet, but they are a great starch to include in your diet. Always pick organic potatoes.
This recipe is inspired by one of my favorite childhood snacks.
