Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs total) sweet potatoes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee (Whole30-compliant) or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large, evenly-sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover with cold water. 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 sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.
Add the coconut milk, ghee (or coconut oil), garlic powder, salt, cinnamon (if using), and black pepper to the pot with the sweet potatoes.
Using a masher, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a hand blender for a silkier texture if preferred.
Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, garlic powder, or cinnamon to preference.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite Whole30-compliant meal.
