I am wondering how to go about making mashed potatoes for a lunch party
After peeling then boiling potatoes and mashing them in butter, I was wondering what would be the advantage/disadvantage of using coconut milk over regular milk. Aside from slight change in the taste, does this have any effect on the creaminess of the mash? I am aware that coconut milk is much higher in fat (so that could matter in how the potatoes turn out?).

I watched several videos on people who use coconut milk in their mashed potatoes but they never made a case for why it's more effective than regular milk (other than it being Vegan or having the sweeter tinge). Please let me know what you think.

or:No you should not nor should you use almond milk. The primary reason for using that is for vegans or Paleo diets.The milk for mashed potstoes is regular milk, half and half, heavy cream or canned milk.


or:Do not perform experiments when preparing a meal for a group. Use instant mashed potatoes and follow instructions on the box.
