Ingredients needed to make Whole30 Mashed Potatoes:

  • butter potatoes ( or Yukon gold potatoes)- They make for the best mashed potatoes because they are soft and velvety after they are boiled.
  • almond milk– this is a great non-dairy milk alternative.
  • coconut cream– make sure the coconut cream doesn’t have any preservatives or additives inside. Also make sure you enjoy the taste of your coconut cream. I love Savoy coconut cream because it is creamy and doesn’t taste like coconut.
  • olive oil– extra light olive oil keeps the flavor light.
  • garlic powder– this adds flavor without having to cook the garlic first
  • dried parsley– this also adds flavor. Feel free to use fresh parsley if you want.
  • salt– use the salt of your choice.
  • pepper– fresh ground pepper is best here.
