Notes: ■ This recipe is made with red-skinned potatoes which are low in starch, or "waxy." For fluffier mashed potatoes, use russets or baking potatoes, which are high in starch, or use a medium starch potato such as Yukon gold or long whites
Recipe Variations
■ Replace the butter with ghee, olive oil, or coconut oil.
■ Replace the cream or milk with coconut milk or broth.
■ Replace half of the potatoes with cauliflower for a lighter mash lower in carbs.
■ Add 1 to 2 cups of chopped cooked cabbage or kale to the pot for a traditional Irish-style colcannon.
■ Replace one-third to one-half of the potatoes with peeled and cubed rutabagas for delicious mashed potato and rutabaga combination
