Is the sweet potato considered Paleo? I’ve seen it used in a lot of Paleo recipes, but there is a lot of controversy surrounding this

Y, that’s a really good question. I’ve taken the position given to me by Scott Hagnas, owner of CrossFit Portland and Paleo eater for almost 7 years now. He doesn’t recommend eating sweet potatoes very often, and usually only as a post-workout meal. However, he was the one who gave me this recipe, so I decided to include it. As I mentioned in the FAQ, there are a lot of foods that are on the highly debated list, and when you encounter one, just judge by what you feel comfortable with. Your personal reasons for eating Paleo will also have a big impact on what foods you eat regardless if they’re 100% Paleo or not. But, if most of the Paleo Plan readers don’t want to eat sweet potatoes, I’ll eliminate them from the plan.

Thanks for the info! I’m just getting into the Paleo/CrossFit world and there is a wealth of information, which leads of course to conflicting info! keep up the good work, I made the turkey meatballs this weekend and created my own Paleo meatloaf using Bison, my boyfriend LOVED them both

I don’t think Sweet Potatoes are Paleo?
Stella
I worked closely with Scott Hagnas of CrossFit Portland, who recommends sweet potatoes occasionally, and as post-workout meals. He is a well-respected voice in the Paleo world, so I trust him.
Second, check out our FAQ page for more information on “Food X isn’t Paleo.”

Paleo or not, this is delicious.

I am thinking about trying this and adding some bacon, I bet it will be spectacular!
Holly
I find it interesting that people worry about a sweet potato but have no issues with bacon being Paleo…just a thought.

This is an excellent breakfast! It was pretty quick to make (20 min) tasted nice and sweet (caramelized onion and sweet potato) and was unexpectedly filling.

Sweet potatoes are a great PWO meal. The attempt at a historical paleo reenactment is getting old. They are a great food, and most folks that follow paleo are not only ok with them, but love them to death (especially the purple Japanese variety)
Have fun, and stay healthy.

The cookies are sooooooooooooooooooooo good they have almond flour and to me they taste like store bought cookies and if you need almond flour you can go to trader joe’s or whole foods
Stay healthy. Love you paleo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Made the sweet potato hash this morning but decided to leave out the eggs and it was delicious! Next time I make it I will gladly add the eggs and maybe even invite a few guests over for brunch. Great recipe!

Can I use olive oil in place of the coconut oil?
