Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 0.5 cups coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.

Step 2

In a large pot, add the sweet potato cubes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and let the sweet potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, place the frozen peas in a small saucepan with a little water. Simmer them over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they are tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 5

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.

Step 6

Add the ghee to the pot with the sweet potatoes and mash using a potato masher or immersion blender until smooth.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Continue to mash and mix until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth to your preference.

Step 8

Gently fold in the cooked peas into the mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You may add more salt or pepper according to your preference.

Step 10

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