A creamy, beefy sauce served over fluffy, mashed nightshade-free potatoes is always a hit!
This can be served to people who aren’t even on the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol because it is so comforting and simple that they may not realize it’s AIP compliant (unless you tell them *wink*).
After a long day of work I adore being able to just quickly chop up some veggies (or pre-chop on Sunday) and cook them up in a skillet with some ground meat. The mashed potatoes whip up together easily as well…simply chop, boil, and mash! The mash can even be prepped and boiled ahead of time.
This was one of those recipes I came up with on-the-fly because I had some zucchini and turnip to use up and as always- I was craving comfort food.
Even though those two vegetables are not traditional ingredients in stroganoff, they’re what really up the flavor make this an AIP Stroganoff & Mashed Potatoes dish.
By adding more veggies in it’s a win-win recipe for both flavor and nutrient density.
One tip of mine for keeping AIP flexible and comforting in the kitchen:
I love keeping arrowroot starch and some cans of BPA-free coconut milk on hand at all times. I use the brand Aroy-D. You can thicken sauces with the arrowroot, or use it plus some coconut flour and an AIP seasoning blend for dusting meats before shallow-frying in some avocado oil.
Coconut milk can also be used in sauces, smoothies, or even refrigerated then sweetened with some honey and fluffed up to use as a whipped topping….like in my Strawberry Shortcake Muffins from my new book, AIP Gatherings!
Don’t have some of the ingredients in this AIP Stroganoff & Mashed Potatoes recipe on hand?
You can use up just about any vegetable in the sauce. Try using leftover shredded chicken, or use ground turkey or pork in place of the beef.
Give spinach or chopped celery a go if you don’t have zucchini. Try cubed butternut squash or cauliflower instead of the turnip. Portobello mushrooms definitely add a unique texture but any mushrooms will work. Change it up and get creative!

Hi Meagan. I’m no longer strictly AIP but I’ve made this several times, so good!
Is the 1 tbsp thyme meant to be fresh or dried? Thanks!
Hi Eileen,
Sorry for my delay! I have updated the recipe to clarify.
Thanks for your help! I would use fresh thyme in this amount, but if you only have dried thyme, you can use 1 tsp. 🙂
xo,
Meagen
