Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into equal-sized cubes, roughly 1-inch each.
Place the sweet potato cubes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them completely.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Test doneness by piercing with a fork.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for a minute to remove excess water.
Add the ghee, coconut milk, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the sweet potatoes.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed sweet potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
