Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Peel the purple potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1.5 inches in size.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the coconut milk, ghee, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until warm and the ghee has melted. Stir occasionally.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot or a suitable large bowl.
Pour the warm coconut milk and garlic mixture over the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, ensuring the ingredients are well combined.
Add sea salt and black pepper to taste, and mix again to incorporate.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve immediately as a delightful side dish.
