Ingredients
  

  • 4.0 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1.0 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2.0 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.0 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3.0 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.0 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste black pepper
  • 1.0 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 0.0 to taste chopped chives for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Make the Herb Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the chopped onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  • Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the chopped thyme, rosemary, and parsley, followed by the smoked paprika. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the herbs to release their flavors.
  • Create the Velvety Sauce: Pour in the full-fat coconut milk, stirring to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  • Blend the Potatoes: In a mixing bowl or a food processor, combine the drained potatoes with the herb-coconut mixture. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can mash them instead.
  • Final Adjustments: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice according to your preference.
  • Serve: Transfer the Velvety Herb Fasooro Potato Grik into a serving dish. Garnish with chopped chives for an added pop of color and flavor. Enjoy warm!
