Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, roughly 2 inches in size, for even cooking.
In a large pot, place the potato chunks and fill with water until the potatoes are covered by about an inch. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes cook, steam the broccoli florets until tender. This can be done in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 5-7 minutes.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. In a small pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot. Use a potato masher to start mashing the potatoes.
Add the sautéed garlic with olive oil, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Add the steamed broccoli to the mashed potatoes, folding them in gently until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Finely chop the fresh chives and sprinkle them over the mashed potatoes for garnish before serving.
