Dairy-Free Purple Mashed Potatoes

When it come to potatoes, I actually kind of despise them? If it weren’t for the cardiologist telling me I need to eat them to boost my potassium, and my rheumatologist telling me to eat them as a carb since I have to cut grains and gluten, I’d probably be like a nun and sex…could …

I’ve been home visiting my family this week, and there’s just something about Northern California and 90 degree weather that’s been making me crave lemonade like crazy.
