Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.25 cups Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into large chunks of equal size to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, warm the coconut milk and ghee over low heat. Stir occasionally until the ghee is fully melted. Do not bring it to a boil.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer to your preferred consistency.
Gradually add the warm coconut milk and ghee mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.
