Ok…just a question? How about apples instead of potatoes?
Or Peruvian Purple Potato?
or Kohlrabi?
Let us get creative!

I love that you use grams for weights in your recipes… it’s is SO HARD to know what “1 potato” really is… plus this looks like total comfort food to me.. as for white potatoes being paleo? they are rare treats for me in my personal paleo.. including or excluding runs the gamut.. I love your blog!

and I forgot to say how awesome that pb&j looks. I haven’t tried spiralized buns yet but I’m going to!

paleo, shmaleo. Poor potatoes getting such a bad rap. That and carbs. I don’t get it. Did we not learn anything from the “fat free” 90s? It’s now the carb free 2K.

As an ancient Greek philosopher once said, “all things in moderation”…maybe just half of one of these deluxe “buns” for Sunday brunch? Potatoes are not inherently bad…just too much of them could be problematic. But, in the long run…way better than frankenwheat! Unless, of course, the spuds have also been GMOed…what are the odds??!!

Isn’t it funny what moms tell kids to get them to eat? Mine told me crusts were for curly hair! Thins looks awesome!

In reply to Ria. As a type 1 diabetic, white potatoes spike the blood sugar as much as Jelly does. I eat these pbj sandwhiches from linda fiveson that are mostly fluffy egg whites and no wheat. There is no jelly in them but fresh fruit and almond butter. No spike!

I think I should have eaten the crusts from the sandwiches; let’s not go into how tall (or short) I am! 🙂

This sounds very interesting… would have never thought to make a PBJ with potato buns. A definite try.

Paleo/smaleo, This looks fun to make. Very inventive. Your creations inspire me. And I’m pretty good on my own : )

Paleo gal here–generally, potatoes are not paleo for the reasons mentioned above this comment, they spike blood sugar heavily, don’t provide enough nutrients when comparing with the blood sugar spike, etc. I would think this would taste better with a sweet potato anyway! Yes, this looks awesome but with the starchy white potato, I wouldn’t label this as paleo. 🙂

I follow Wheat Belly……potatoes are heavily discouraged because they will spike blood sugar levels. Sweet potatoes are “limited”, but not as bad.

Looks…just…amazing. Potatoes can be paleo based on your version of paleo. Although usually if you label a recipe “paleo” and it has potatoes in it, you’ll get a bunch of crazies commenting on how potatoes aren’t paleo, so probably better that you didn’t label it paleo. A lot of people will agree that potatoes can be a great part of a paleo diet in moderation and especially if you’re an athlete. It’s just recommended that you limit them based on the carb content because most paleo people are also low carb.

I’m not paleo at all, but I was just talking about the potato thing with my coworker. Apparently they fit the main criteria for the diet but it’s still recommended to limit them because the effect of the starches on your body is viewed to be similarly detrimental to eating grains. This sounds delicious – i love that bridge between sweet and savory and I think it would be easy to veganize!
