Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches in size to ensure even cooking.
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 medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan on low heat. This will help it blend more smoothly into the potatoes.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the same pot.
Step 6
Add the ghee into the pot with the drained potatoes and let it melt in the residual heat from the potatoes.
Step 7
Begin mashing the potatoes with a masher or use a hand mixer for a smoother texture.
Step 8
Slowly add the warmed coconut milk while continuing to mash or mix until the potatoes reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, adjusting the seasonings to taste.
Step 10
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
