Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the purple potatoes into equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, add the potato chunks and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic finely and chop the chives for the garnish.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them well and return them to the pot.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk, ghee, and minced garlic. Warm gently until the ghee is melted and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Use a potato masher or fork to begin mashing the potatoes. Gradually mix in the warmed coconut milk mixture, mashing until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped chives.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your Whole30 Creamy Mashed Purple Potatoes as a delightful side dish.
