Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into 2-inch chunks.
Put the potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the fresh rosemary and thyme, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the coconut milk over low heat, adding the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Heat gently for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors, then remove from heat.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the ghee to the hot potatoes and begin mashing with a potato masher.
Slowly add the herb-infused coconut milk to the mashed potatoes, stirring occasionally, until you reach your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the herb-infused mashed potatoes warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
