Hi Jill,
Would sweet potato be an acceptable sub for the potato?

Making these right now. The best part so far was having the extra potato to eat, haha. I tasted the filling and OMG!!! It’s delicious 😋

The bars are in the oven baking. The filling is divine (I eagerly tasted what was left in the bowl): so fresh and delicious. Thank you for this simple, yummy recipe, Jill. I am topping ours with blueberries (and I used an organic white Hannah sweet potato in mine).

Going to make them for family visit this weekend. Can the bars be frozen?

I haven’t tried freezing them but I think they would do fine.

Would it be possible to use coconut flour instead of almond flour for the crust, please?

Hi Jill, As potato is a nightshade veggie, what could I substitute for the 1/2 cup of cooked potato in the filling?
