Ingredients
  

  • 6 medium potatoes
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk ideally in the refrigerator overnight to separate out the cream
  • 1.5 teaspoons salt divided

Instructions
 

  • Fill a large pot half-way with water, add 1 tsp salt, cover and bring to a boil. Peel the potatoes if you like. I'd suggest half. Cut the potatoes into 1-2" chunks.Add the potatoes to the hot water (it's okay if its not boiling yet) and cover. Bring the pot to a boil, watching closely that it doesn't boil over. Once it has reached a boil, simmer for 10 mins, check for donness with a fork. The potato should crumble, but not be mushy. Skim off the cream of the coconut milk and place in a casserole dish with ½ tsp salt. Turn the heat off. Transfe the potatoes to the casserole and mash. If you have one, use a ricer. Mix the potatoes, salt, and cream well. If they are dry, stir in the remaining coconut milk. Salt to taste and serve.  (Recipe♦355)
