Chocolate-Covered Coconut Bites

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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).

4. 4

   Roll into balls. Refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to re-harden.

5. 5

   Melt chocolate and remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil together. Roll balls into chocolate. Garnish if desired. Refrigerate until hardened.

6. 6

   Enjoy right away, store in the fridge, or freeze for later use.
