Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, then return them to the pot.
Add the ghee to the pot and mash the potatoes and garlic together using a potato masher until mostly smooth.
Pour in the coconut milk, season with black pepper, and continue mashing until the potatoes reach your desired creamy consistency.
Taste the potatoes and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if using.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo-friendly creamy garlic mashed potatoes.
