  • Drain water. Add in coconut milk, ghee, and salt.
  • Mash to desired consistency, adding more coconut milk if needed. Transfer mashed potatoes to bowl.

For the Beef Stroganoff

  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef, onion, and garlic. Try not to break up ground beef too much. Cook until no pink remains. Drain fat.
  • Add sliced mushrooms. Cook 2-3 minutes. Stir in arrowroot. Cook 1 additional minute.
  • Add broth, salt & pepper, and fish sauce (optional). Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low 10 minutes.
  • Remove beef mixture from heat. Stir in coconut cream, lemon juice, and parsley.
  • Serve atop mashed potatoes.

Recipe Notes

  • Beef Broth: For a thicker gravy, use only 1 cup beef broth. For a thinner sauce, use 2 cups.
  • Coconut Cream: In the beef stroganoff, you'll use only the solid, white cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk. The remaining coconut milk can be used in your mashed potatoes.
