Why I Love this Dairy-Free Mashed Potatoes Recipe

This dairy-free mashed potatoes recipe is part of myMindful Elimination Programmeal plan. I typically get a lot of questionable faces when people see that. People cannot believe that mashed potatoes could be in a healthy eating program.

I am here to tell you it can be, and it is my friends! I love white potatoes, and I think they can be a comforting and hearty food. The key is to take out the inflammation-causing products and create a version full of healthier ingredients.

I promise these dairy-free mashed potatoes are so good, people can never tell the difference. I strongly believe you can live a healthy life without giving up the foods you love. It is all about the ingredients that you use.

Potatoes Can Be Healthy!

I used to think white potatoes were “bad” for me. I learned somewhere along the line that their starchiness meant that if I wanted to be healthy and thin, then I should never have white potatoes.

Eating mindfully has taught me a lot about how distorted my views of health were, and I was only on a “think-thin” plan for a long time. Once I started tapping deeper into how I felt, and less about counting and numbers, I started realizing that potatoes served a purpose in my life.

And that purpose was that I loved them and I felt good when I ate them!

That is enough for me to keep them on my menu about once or twice a week. Potatoes are rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin A. My favorite fun fact is that potatoes are anti-inflammatory!

Potatoes help to reduce inflammation in the body. That must be why I always feel so good after eating potatoes, never bloated or gassy.

Because they are starchy, I do not suggest eating them every day. But eating mashed potatoes with ghee instead of butter, and coconut milk instead of cow’s milk once a week or so can be good for you.

It will liven up your dinner plate!

Tips For Making Delicious Mashed Potatoes with Ghee

This mashed potato recipe is so delicious, my friends and family never even realize they are eating dairy-free. One small note is just to be conscious of the consistency while you mash.

Do not over whip or you may not have the consistency that you desire. Feel free to add a bit more ghee totaste depending on your level of buttery potato preference. I always do a taste test before serving!
