Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
Description
This mashed potato recipe begins by peeling and cubing Russet or Yukon gold potatoes, known for their creamy mashing qualities. The potatoes are boiled until fork tender, then drained. Coconut milk and ghee (or olive oil for dairy-free) are added before mashing until smooth, producing a creamy consistency without traditional cream or butter.
The flavor reflects a mild richness from ghee or olive oil combined with the slight sweetness and creaminess of canned coconut milk. Seasoning with sea salt and ground black pepper adjusts the taste. Both stovetop and Instant Pot methods are provided, offering flexibility in preparation and timing.
These mashed potatoes can accompany various dishes and fit Whole30 or dairy-free diets. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 4 days. Using a food processor or blender is possible as an alternative to mashing by hand, though a potato masher is simpler and effective.
