Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized casserole dish with a thin layer of butter or non-stick spray.
Peel the russet potatoes, then chop them into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes well and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the coconut milk, shredded sweetened coconut, and salted butter. Mix until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly into the greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top in an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Optional: For a golden finish, broil the casserole for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this creamy and tropical take on comfort food!
