- 0.5 cups coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)

Begin by peeling the sweet potatoes and cutting them into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and allow the sweet potatoes to cook for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add the coconut milk, ghee, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the cooked sweet potatoes.
Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until they are smooth and creamy, adjusting the seasoning as necessary.
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped chives if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Paleo mashed sweet potatoes!
