- 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!
