Make sure to mash the cooked garlic. Mix in salt, the rest of the ingredients and half cup coconut milk. Mix and whip lightly, just enough to add air and still have some texture. Let sit for a minute for the milks to incorporate and absorb.

Notes
For variation: use 10 cloves of roasted garlic in the mashed potatoes. To sub coconut milk: cashew cream, soy milk, a bit of vegan cream cheese will work For even fluffier, add the drained potatoes to a skillet and cook over low heat for a few minutes to dry out, then mash.
