Because potatoes are a nightshade, and nightshades are a no-go on AIP, what’s an AIPer to do? Make AIP mashed potatoes with white sweet potatoes, of course!

These Mashed Potatoes are AIP-friendly and made using Japanese sweet potatoes and a no-drain Instant Pot method. The ratio of potatoes to liquid is perfect for a quick cook + mash, without having to drain the potatoes in between.

This recipe utilizes white sweet potatoes (rather than their orange counterparts) for two reasons. First, white sweet potatoes are not as sweet as the orange version, helping to contribute toward a more savory dish. And second, white sweet potatoes look much more like your standard mashed potatoes than the orange ones, helping to trick your brain into thinking it’s getting the classic mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Instructions

Peel and chop your white sweet potatoes and add them to your Instant Pot.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley and sea salt on top. Top with a dried bay leaf and pour the broth over everything.
Cover, seal and set to high pressure for 10 minutes.
When the cooking cycle is complete, quick release the pressure. * To prevent burns, cover the valve with a thick towel before releasing the pressure. Open the lid and remove the bay leaf.
Add the coconut milk to the potatoes and use a hand mixer or potato masher to mash or whip the potatoes, right in the Instant Pot.
Add extra coconut milk, if desired, for a creamier texture.
Serve with gravy and enjoy!

Notes

White sweet potatoes tend to turn brown very quickly, so work fast, but don't stress about it, as it doesn’t affect the taste or appearance at all.
