Ingredients

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes
  • 1.33 c chicken broth
  • 1.5 tsp k salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • c ghee
  • 3 thyme sprigs
  • ½ c coconut milk

Instructions

  • Peel the skin off the potatoes with a vegetable peeler. Cut the potatoes into roughly 1 inch pieces using a large sharp knife and cutting board. Place the cut pieces into the insert of the Instant Pot.
  • Measure out the chicken broth in a measuring cup, then pour over the cut potatoes. Put the lid on the Instant Pot (making sure the rubber seal ring is in place), then turn the valve to Sealing. Plug in the Instant Pot, press the Manual button, then use the Plus and/or Minus buttons to set the timer to 8 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, prep the other ingredients. Measure out the ghee with a measuring cup and put it in a small microwaveable bowl. If the ghee has been in the fridge, put it in the microwave to soften up (about 30 seconds). If using coconut milk in a can, make sure it is well blended, then pour into a measuring cup.
  • When the timer goes off, turn the valve at the top to Venting to release the pressure. Be careful doing this so you don’t get shot with steam! Remove the lid and set aside. Take a masher (or a fork) and start mashing the potatoes up, just enough to break them up.
  • Measure out the kosher salt and garlic powder and pour into the potatoes. Pour the ghee and coconut milk into the potatoes as well. Take the leaves off the time sprigs and put them in the potatoes too. Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes until they are smooth and all the ingredients are fully integrated. Take a small taste and add more salt if desired. Serve warm.
