Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, about 2 inches each, to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low heat. This ensures it blends smoothly without cooling the potatoes when mixed.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the ghee, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes in the pot.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the warmed coconut milk to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper according to your preference.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve warm and enjoy this creamy and flavorful Paleo classic with your favorite main dish.
