Key ingredients for Whole30 Mashed Potatoes
- Potatoes: I used yukon gold potatoes but any variety should work well.
- Herbs: Fresh garlic and rosemary are pan fried until golden & crispy, and mixed into the potatoes. Hello flavour! I used rosemary from my garden and minced garlic cloves. Fresh herbs are important for the amazing flavour.
- Olive oil: I used light extra virgin olive oil to pan fry the herbs and then mixed it in with the potatoes. It adds a richness that you usually achieve with cream, milk or cheese.
- Almond milk: The mashed potatoes needed to be watered down a little for a perfect consistency, so I added unsweetened almond milk which made the mashed potatoes creamier as well.

Can you eat mashed potatoes on whole30?
Potatoes are allowed on the whole30 diet, provided that they aren’t in the form of fries or potato chips/crisps. When making mashed potatoes for whole30, avoid dairy foods like butter, cheese, cream, milk and sour cream. Dairy is not permitted on the whole30 diet.
What’s a good substitute for milk in mashed potatoes?
Here are my favourite dairy-free alternatives that also fit in the whole30 diet.
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Coconut milk
- Coconut cream
- Soaked & blended neutral nuts like cashews
- Olive oil
- Avocado oil
- Whole30 Mayonnaise
Why is my mash like glue?
If they are over-mashed, they become gluey because too much starch is released. For this reason, I recommend using a little elbow grease and mashing the potatoes with a masher and not a blender or hand blender (speaking from experience here!).
