Paleo Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Is there anyone who doesn't like mashed potatoes? Hello, comfort food. That being said, I do think people have a lot of opinions when it comes to this dish. Chunky, smooth, skins on, skins off, plain, garlic, etc. And if you do gravy, you're on your own. I don't do gravy on anything. I know there are people who will argue that white potatoes aren't Paleo, but a lot of people do just fine with them. That's why I love the term "Paleoish" to describe my way of life. White potatoes are allowed on Whole30, so this dish is technically Whole30 approved. Yay! And hello, it's Thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes are a must. (If you can't tolerate white potatoes, I recommend cauliflower mashed potatoes for a great substitute!) So prepare these potatoes to your liking. Peel the potatoes if you must (extra step, no thank you.) Add more bone broth and coconut milk if you like your potatoes creamy. Mash them by hand if you want them extra chunky. Skip the garlic if you prefer them plain and simple. But no matter how you make them, enjoy that big ole dish of comfort food. *You can make this dish in advance and reheat in the oven. I would just keep the dish covered to preserve the moisture.
