These Paleo Whole30 Taco Potato Boats are fun and easy. A potato scooped out and filled with taco meat, peppers, and eggs. They are gluten free, dairy free, and low FODMAP.
I made my original Paleo Whole30 Egg Potato Boats last year and they have become crazy popular. I honestly didn't expect that, but I'm so glad you all love them so much. I knew I needed to do another version and taco is always a good choice. These came out so great and I know you will love them.
How to Make the Boats
You bake the potatoes until tender, then cut off a small section of the top. Use a scoop to scoop out all the potato, leaving ¼ inch thick layer in them. Fill them with the goodies and bake until eggs are set. I have this set of tablespoon measuring spoons that I love and use for everything. It was the perfect size to scoop out the potato. If you use a regular spoon you won't have as much control and are most likely going to break a hole in the skin.
I topped these with FODY Salsa which is low FODMAP and Whole30 compliant. You can use your favorite salsa on top- it's adds so much flavor and a little spice.
Some Tips for Making Potato Boats
They’re not hard, but a little more time consuming than some breakfasts.
- Choose the largest potatoes you can and try to keep them similar in size. It should use 10 large potatoes, but 12 medium would also work
- Bake the potatoes a day ahead and scoop out. This makes baking them in the morning a lot quicker. You can also chop all the veggies ahead of time.
- Use the scooped out potatoes for mashed potatoes or any other way you’d like.
I know you will love these paleo Whole30 taco potato boats. They are fun and flavorful and sure to be loved by the whole family.

Paleo Whole30 Taco Potato Boats
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375° and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Wash the potatoes and poke them a couple times with a fork. Rub with a little avocado oil and place them on the sheet tray. Bake until tender, about 50-60 minutes. Let cool 10-15 minutes until cool enough to handle.
- While the potatoes are baking, make the filling. Add the garlic oil to a large skillet and add in the beef, salt, cumin, oregano, paprika and pepper. Cook, over medium heat while breaking into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Add the diced bell pepper and cook 5-8 more minutes, until tender.
- Cut the top off the potato and scoop out the inside leaving just a little potato lining the skin. I find using a measuring tablespoon works best or a small cookie dough scoop would work. Place them in a 13x9 pan.
- Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the ½ teapson of salt and scramble. Add in the taco meat and chives to the poatotes, dividing evenly. You may have a little extra taco meat left. I had about ¼ cup leftover. Top with the egg mixture and cook 40 minutes or until eggs are set.

i dug this! but the ratios turned out pretty off for me. i decided to half the recipe - so baked 5 potatoes instead of the 10 and the meat & eggs (also halved) was no-where near enough filling for all five, so i saved two of the potatoes for another purpose.
