Ackee Mashed Potatoes with Garlic Infused Coconut Oil
Fluffy and flavourful ackee mashed potatoes are delicious minus dairy
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 can Ackee, warm (about 2 cups parboiled)
- 4 tbsps Garlic infused coconut plus more to taste
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Additional herbs if desired
Instructions
-
Place the potatoes with about a teaspoon of salt in a pot and pour enough water to cover the potatoes by an inch
-
Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Let cook till soft.
-
When potatoes are done, reserve about a cup of the cooking liquid and set aside
-
Mix potatoes with ackees and pass them through a sieve, food mill or potato ricer. You could also use a potato masher but you'd end up with a few ackee chunks here and there where the masher misses the pieces, alternately you could puree the ackee and mix it in at the end.
-
Use the reserve cooking water to thin out the mash if desired
-
Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
As always, the basic recipe is simply a starting point.
Feel free to put your own spin on it. Love roasted garlic for example? That would be awesome in this! Or even sun-dried tomatoes, or pesto, let your imagination guide you.
