This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free. If you're looking for a vegan option, you can simply omit the bacon and add additional salt to taste.
Add the potatoes to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes until they are very fork tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the bacon in a separate pan until they are fully cooked. Set aside to cool when done.
Drain the water and add the salt, pepper, 1 cup coconut milk and safflower oil to the pot.
Using a hand mixer, blend until the potatoes are creamy. If they need more moisture, add the 1/2 cup of coconut milk and then 1-2 tbsp of coconut milk at a time and blend until your desired consistency.
Taste test throughout and add salt and pepper if needed, but remember that the bacon will add a salty flavor too.
Crumble the cooked bacon strips and stir by hand into the mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If you prefer a vegan version, you can leave the bacon out and replace it with salt to taste. I recommend adding 1/2 teaspoon of salt at a time, mixing and taste testing before adding more.
