Dilled Purple Potatoes

Wait! Potatoes? Yes, that’s right. Potatoes are now considered paleo in small quantities. Opinions do change. But here’s the rub. If nightshades are your enemy or you are trying to drop a few pounds, this starchy tuber needs to stay underground. However, if your family is craving a little comfort, go for it. It is a natural product but just cook it as a savory treat from time to time and not so much in regular rotation.
