Crab & Yam Hash - Low Carb

I had to check a few lists and sites to see if this also qualified for the Primal/Paleo diets. I know they say no potatoes, but yams are some of the lists! You would have to substitute the butter, but the rest is good. No matter what, it's tasty. I did it with fried eggs but this could make a great side dish or top some greens. This is adapted from a recipe found on Relish.


  • 1 large yam, peeled and chopped
  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Freshly ground pepper & salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon seafood seasoning
  • 12 ounces crab meat
  • 4 ounces baby spinach
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Place yams and shallot on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt, paprika, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil over top and toss. Place in oven and roast 20 to 30 minutes, or until yams are tender.


  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, lemon rind, seafood seasoning, and crab. Cook 1 minute. Add lemon juice and spinach. Toss until coated with butter. Add potato mixture. Serve warm.

  • I used a container of crab claw meat found in the seafood section of the grocery store. Any crab meat would work for this.
