Creamy Whole30 Mashed Potatoes – a go-to side dish that is absolutely delicious and Whole30 compliant!
Best Ever Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
If you are looking for the PERFECT side dish to liven up your Whole30 (or you need the perfect dairy-free mashed potato recipe), then you need to try these!
I really can’t believe it has taken me this long to post this recipe – this was a complete lifesaver during this last round of Whole30 and I am so excited to finally be sharing it with you! Not only are they easy to make (they take about 15-20 minutes total), but they are also so creamy and flavorful! My husband inhaled them (he also did Whole30 with me) and the kiddos LOVED them. I especially loved them because, as always, I can never eat mashed potatoes when I go out to eat because they inevitably have milk or cream or butter …. or all of the above. So I eat these all the time, even when I am not doing a round of Whole30.
What You Will Need:

Recipe FAQs
- Peeled potatoes: for a more creamy texture, take the extra few minutes to peel your potatoes, but you don’t have to. This recipe will turn out either way.
- Ghee: feel free to use this homemade ghee recipe or store-bought
- Other types of potatoes: this will also work with russet potatoes, but I highly recommend Yukon gold -much more creamy in my opinion.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Than you for your wonderful recipes!
I love using the Simply Balanced (Target) brand of canned organic unsweetened coconut milk. I find it to be creamy all the way through the can with no separation at all even at room temp compared to the Thai Kitchen organic unsweetened coconut milk I used to buy at Costco. I would have to make sure that one was well shaken before I put it in the fridge and even then I ended up with about 1/2 can of water. at least I would use the coconut water in a smoothie so it didn’t go to waste!
Just my opinion, though 😉
Erin says
Hi Heidi! I actually agree with you – I feel like the canned Thai Kitchen has been out-performed lately by Target and other brands! Thank you for your input!
Katie says
Do you use canned coconut milk?
Erin says
Yes, you can use canned, full-fat coconut milk – recently though I have been buying the Thai Kitchen coconut milk in a carton (ingredients are just coconut milk + water) and it is so nice because it doesn’t separate! I find it at Target. Hope that helps!
Michelle says
Can you use a different milk besides coconut milk? I don’t care for the taste.
Erin says
Hi Michelle! You can use whatever milk you want, I just used coconut milk here to really make the mashed potatoes extra creamy 🙂 another type of milk will work, you might just lose a little bit of that creaminess!
