Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds yams
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the yams and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Fill a large pot with water and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the yam cubes to the boiling water and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the yams in a colander and transfer them back to the pot.
Add the ghee to the hot yams, allowing it to melt completely.
Pour in the coconut milk, and use a potato masher or an electric hand mixer to mash the yams to your desired consistency.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed yam to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite Whole30 compliant entrée.
