Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 4 tablespoons ghee
• 6 slices bacon
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the russet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add the coconut milk, ghee, sautéed garlic with drippings, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.

Step 8

Mash the potato mixture using a potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until creamy and smooth.

Step 9

Stir in the crumbled bacon, reserving a small amount for garnish if desired.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
