    Mashed potatoes are the ultimate comfort food! These easy Whole30 mashed potatoes are made with simple ingredients and are the perfect side dish for the holiday season or weeknight dinner.

    A bowl filled with creamy mashed potatoes topped with melted ghee and sprinkled with chives.

    These clean eating healthy mashed potatoes only use a handful of ingredients, unlike most homemade mashed potatoes with loads of heavy cream and butter. My favorite side dish on any special occasion is the creamy mashed potatoes, so I am a big fan of making these during the holidays or for a weeknight side dish.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients need to make Whole30 mashed potatoes.

    Substitutions

    Potatoes- You can use any kind of potatoes in this recipe. You can use Yukon gold potatoes or red potatoes, but I think the best potatoes to use are russet potatoes.

    Garlic powder- If you don't have garlic powder, a great option is using minced garlic.

    Diary-free milk- I use unsweetened almond milk but you can use whatever unsweetened milk you like. Another great substitute would be using full-fat coconut milk or coconut cream. You could also use unsweetened oat milk, but that would make this recipe no longer Whole30. Be sure to read your milk labels to keep this Whole30!

    Ghee- If you have a severe dairy allergy then you can use olive oil or vegan butter in place of ghee.

    Step by Step

    1. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1 inch cubes and add to a large pot with boiling water. You can leave the skins on or peel them off. Whatever you prefer.
    2. Let the potatoes boil for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Then drain the water out.
    3. Add the cooked potatoes to a large food processor then add the dairy free milk, ghee, garlic powder, and some sea salt and pepper.
    4. Blend on high for 30 seconds to a minute or until the potatoes are nice and creamy.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you eat mashed potatoes on Whole30?

    Yes! As long as they are made with non dairy unsweetened milk and ghee instead of milk, cream, and butter.

    Why are potatoes allowed on Whole30?

    Potatoes are allowed on Whole30 because they are a good source of vitamin c, potassium, and fiber!

    What to serve with

    Here are some of my favorite things to serve with these paleo mashed potatoes.

    • In a bowl topped with Whole30 Pot Roast
    • With these Whole30 Swedish Meatballs
    • As a side to these Whole30 Crispy Buffalo Chicken
    • With this Whole30 Meatloaf

    Tips and notes

    Tips

    To get the most perfect creamy texture to these mashed potatoes you need to blend them. I usually use a large food processor but if you don't have one you can use a blender, stand mixer, hand mixer, or immersion blender. If you don't have any of these you can use a potato masher.

    You need a large food processor to fit everything into it. If you don't have a large food processor then I would opt for one of the suggestions above.

    Notes

    If you want to take these potatoes to the next level here are a few things you can add.

    • You can add ¼ cup of Kite Hill Sour Cream and ¼ cup of Kite Hill Cream Cheese. Both of these are Whole30!
    • Fresh herbs like rosemary, parsley, and/or chives
    • Top with Whole30 bacon crumbles

    Storing and reheating

    Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    To reheat, put in the microwave for 2 minutes or until hot.
