  • Lower heat to medium-high and boil for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, but do not fall apart.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, heat the coconut milk and garlic, if using, in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Set aside.

  • Once the potatoes are done, drain the water, return to the pot off of the heat.
  • Lightly mash the potatoes using a potato masher or hand mixer until a good amount of the steam has been released.
  • Add the ghee and slowly blend in the warmed coconut milk while continuing to mash until smooth and creamy. Start in increments and work up to the consistency of your liking.
