Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into evenly-sized chunks for uniform cooking. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the pot.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the coconut milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot over low heat to evaporate any remaining moisture.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until smooth or with desired texture.
Gradually add the ghee and coconut milk mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until well incorporated and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the mashed potatoes hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
