Description
Creamy plant-based mashed potatoes with coconut milk and rosemary roasted garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 teaspoon of dried crushed rosemary
- 3 lbs (1370 g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes (washed and scrubbed)
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk (the canned stuff)
- ¼ cup of dairy-free milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt (plus enough to salt the water), or to taste
- Parsley, chives, or pepper to garnish
Instructions
Rosemary Roasted Garlic
- Slice a head of garlic in half and add half a teaspoon of dried rosemary on each slice.
- Place the heads of garlic on a piece of foil with the slices facing up then wrap up the foil packet.
- Roast for one hour at 400 F (200 C).
- Let them cool before handling.
- Squeeze the garlic cloves from their paper shell into cooked potatoes, there’s no need to remove any rosemary stuck to the garlic.
Potatoes
- Wash and scrub the dirt off the potatoes, peel them if you prefer, then cube the potatoes to be about 1 inch thick.
- Add the cubed potatoes to a pot, cover with water to where there’s about an inch of water above the potatoes, and salt the water generously (roughly 1 tablespoon of salt).
- Bring to a boil and cook for around 15-20 minutes or until you can poke a piece of potato with a fork and the potato falls off.
- Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pot, put the lid on, and steam for 5-10 minutes off the burner.
- While the potatoes are steaming warm up the coconut milk and dairy-free milk, don’t boil just warm them up.
- To the potatoes add the roasted garlic, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), and mash into the potatoes.
- Add a ladle full of coconut milk mixture at a time and mash the milk in. Continue adding ladles of milk and mashing. The potatoes will absorb the milk.
- Depending on the potatoes and your desired consistency you may not need all of the milk mixture or if you need more add a little more dairy-free milk.
- Taste for seasoning, and adjust if needed. Then garnish with chives, parsley, or pepper.
Notes
I use Thai Kitchen full-fat coconut milk.
Make sure to use unsweetened canned coconut milk and not coconut cream.
