Ingredients
2 ½
pounds
Yukon gold potatoes
peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
½
cup
whole-fat coconut milk
canned - or half & half
½
cup
unsweetened almond milk
½
cup
unsalted butter
cut into pieces
3
tablespoons
green onions
minced
sea salt & fresh ground pepper
to taste
Instructions
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Weigh potatoes, or guess based on weight of the bag.
Peel and chop potatoes.
Add to boiling water and cook for 15 - 20 minutes, or until tender.
Drain potatoes and place in a large bowl. Add sliced butter.
Let butter begin to melt, then mash until combined.
Add milk and continuing mashing until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the green onions, salt and pepper.
Notes
Coconut milk in a can is comparable to heavy cream and makes your potatoes creamy for those of us who are lactose intolerant.
If you do not need dairy/lactose free, substitute Half & Half for the coconut and almond milks.
Do not over mash your potatoes or they will turn out gummy!
