Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons ghee
- 6 slices bacon
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.
In the bacon drippings, sauté the minced garlic cloves for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot.
Add the coconut milk, ghee, sautéed garlic with drippings, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Mash the potato mixture using a potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until creamy and smooth.
Stir in the crumbled bacon, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with the reserved bacon and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your paleo-friendly creamy mashed potatoes with bacon.
