Ingredients
- 4 (1/4 To 1/2 Lb. Size) Medium Russet Potatoes, Peeled And Cut Into Quarters
- ½ teaspoons Sea Salt
- 3-½ teaspoons Coconut Oil (Or Use Butter If Desired), Divided
- 4 Tablespoons Coconut Or Other Milk, Divided
- 2 cups Organic Powdered Sugar
- 2-½ cups Unsweetened Coconut Flakes
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 15 drops Natural Food Coloring
- 12 ounces, weight Allergen-free Chocolate Chips, Chunks, Or Shavings
Preparation
Add potatoes to a medium saucepan and enough water to cover them. Add salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover loosely and heat until potatoes are tender enough to break (about 15 minutes). Drain.
Mash with a potato masher or fork. Add 3 teaspoons (or 1 tablespoon) coconut oil and 2 tablespoons milk gradually while mashing until potatoes are smooth. Cool in the fridge.
Combine 1/3 cup of the mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, coconut flakes, vanilla, and coloring. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons milk until all ingredients are easily combined (you may need slightly less milk depending on consistency). Refrigerate overnight (this hydrates the coconut flakes).
Roll into balls. Refrigerate for 5–10 minutes to re-harden.
Melt chocolate and remaining ½ teaspoon coconut oil together. Roll balls into chocolate. Garnish if desired. Refrigerate until hardened.
Enjoy right away, store in the fridge, or freeze for later use.
