Peel and dice the russet potatoes into evenly-sized chunks.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash until smooth with minimal lumps.
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then add in the arrowroot flour, coconut flour, egg, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Mix well until a cohesive dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more arrowroot flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.
Dust a clean surface with a small amount of arrowroot flour and roll out each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter with a rolling pin.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a bit of ghee or coconut oil.
Cook each naan for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. Press down with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Remove from skillet and place on a plate. Immediately sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
Serve warm with your favorite Whole30 compliant dishes.
