Here are a few tips to make the best paleo mashed potatoes out there!
Potato choice is important - the best potatoes to use for mashed potatoes are Yukon Gold potatoes or Idaho russet potatoes because they hold up well and will give you great consistency.
Seasoning makes all the difference - the seasoning of these potatoes is taken to the next level from regular potatoes to garlic ranch mashed potatoes with the use of ranch seasoning and fresh garlic. I highly recommend grating the garlic over mincing as it will product a more bold and complex garlic flavor.
To ghee or not to ghee - Since butter is non-Whole30 compliant, the best option for creating a buttery taste and texture is to use ghee. Ghee can tend to be gritty so melting it might be a good option if you aren't a fan of the texture.
You may also want to consider skipping out on the ghee if it's not your thing. Ghee has a slightly different flavor that traditional butter, the choice is up to you!
More milk = more creamy - This recipe calls for one cup of coconut milk but you may need to add more as you mix the potatoes. Depending on your texture preference you may add up to a half of a cup more to get that creamy mashed potato consistency.
These healthy mashed potatoes are a must at your holiday table! They pair perfectly with Air Fryer Turkey Breast or your favorite holiday meal.
