Ingredients

• 2 pounds purple potatoes
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel the purple potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1.5 inches in size.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the coconut milk, ghee, and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until warm and the ghee has melted. Stir occasionally.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot or a suitable large bowl.

Step 6

Pour the warm coconut milk and garlic mixture over the potatoes.

Step 7

Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy, ensuring the ingredients are well combined.

Step 8

Add sea salt and black pepper to taste, and mix again to incorporate.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a delightful side dish.
