Why Are These The BEST Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
I’m a big fan of mashed potatoes, like BIG! Of coarse one of my favorite ways to eat it is with Screen Door fried chicken (if you’re local it’s a MUST)….the things dreams are made of, I’m telling you! But that’s talk for after your Whole30. Back to the potatoes – These whole30 mashed potatoes are easy to make and packed-full of flavor! They are definitely NOT only for a Whole3o, these healthy mashed potatoes are too good to be limited to only 30 days.
How To Make Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
Made with flavorful bone broth and creamy coconut milk (I like this coconut milk since I can’t taste any coconut flavor at all when using it), these mashed potatoes are pure magic every time! I prefer mine hand mashed with one of these since I think it gives the best texture without the gumminess that results from a food processor or blender. And of coarse you could peel your potatoes before cooking but I’m partial to the skins. Whichever way you choose, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Can You Make Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes Ahead
Certainly! You can make these dairy free mashed potatoes a day or two in advance of when you plan to eat them but keep in mind they should be eaten within 5 days of being made since this is typically how long the bone broth lasts in the refrigerator.
Tips For Making Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes in Advance
Follow the recipe below for making these Dairy Free Whole30 Mashed Potatoes and then allow them to cool on the counter for about 30 minutes before adding the lid to your air-tight container and storing in the fridge. It’s important to wait the 30 minutes to allow the stream to release some so that you don’t end up with watery thin mashed potatoes. Then to reheat, simply add them back to a sauce pot and heat over medium-low heat until warmed through. Then serve and enjoy.

Description
Thick and creamy these Whole30 Mashed Potatoes are creamy, flavorful and the perfect side dish. Paired with my Whole30 Gravy recipe you’ve got the classic comfort food combination for any holiday meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red potatoes, washed and cut into 1 inch pieces (you may also peel prior to cutting if you prefer, I keep the skin on)
- 1 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons ghee (omit for dairy free)
- 1/4 cup chicken bone broth (any low-sodium bone broth or stock can be used)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened full fat coconut milk, blend the coconut milk or mix well so milk and fat are well combined before measuring out – (I’ve linked my preferred brand which doesn’t result in any coconut flavor)
- 2 teaspoons unrefined sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring 4 quarts of water plus 1 teaspoon salt to a boil. Then add potatoes and cook until fork tender for 10-15 minutes.
- Once fork tender, drain the potatoes through a colander then return the potatoes to the same (now empty) pot.
- To that pot with the potatoes, add ghee, bone broth, coconut milk, salt, garlic powder and pepper and mash with a hand potato masher. (I greatly prefer the texture of hand mashed potatoes but if you prefer you can also use a food processor or blender. *In MY opinion food processor/blender mashed potatoes are gummy in texture, which is why I prefer hand mashing, fyi.)
- Once mashed, taste and adjust salt if needed.
- Serve with ghee or whole30 gravy and enjoy!

I forgot to also comment about when I read your recommendation regarding using a hand-masher, I questioned it but after doing so – it was so quick and easy. Made me wonder why would I ever haul out my kitchen aid mixer again just to mash potatoes!

Thanks Lori! Yes, hand mashing achieves such a nice texture.
