Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches in size to ensure even cooking.
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 medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan on low heat. This will help it blend more smoothly into the potatoes.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the same pot.
Add the ghee into the pot with the drained potatoes and let it melt in the residual heat from the potatoes.
Begin mashing the potatoes with a masher or use a hand mixer for a smoother texture.
Slowly add the warmed coconut milk while continuing to mash or mix until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasonings to taste.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
