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

Directions

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large, evenly-sized chunks (about 2-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Place the sweet potato chunks into a large pot and cover 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 to a simmer. Cook the sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the sweet potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 5

Add the coconut milk, ghee (or coconut oil), garlic powder, salt, cinnamon (if using), and black pepper to the pot with the sweet potatoes.

Step 6

Using a masher, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, use a hand blender for a silkier texture if preferred.

Step 7

Taste the mash and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, garlic powder, or cinnamon to preference.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite Whole30-compliant meal.
