Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain them well and return them to the pot. Allow any excess moisture to evaporate for a minute or so.
Add the garlic-infused ghee to the pot with the potatoes, followed by the salt, black pepper, and coconut milk.
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. For smoother mashed potatoes, you can use a hand mixer or immersion blender.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chives if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy garlic mashed potatoes!
