Earth Mash — Infused Skin-On Mashed Potatoes with Root Gravy

Roots with texture. Skins with memory. Spices like soil. This is a bowl for grounding, warming, returning home to your body.

🪔 What Is “Earth Mash”?

“Earth Mash” is a grounding bowl of **textured mashed potatoes**, infused with **healing fats, adaptogens, and herbs**. Using a mix of **red, golden, and purple potatoes**—skins included—it honors the full spectrum of earth’s nourishment. It’s mashed with coconut cream, bone broth, and olive oil, then dusted with turmeric, thyme, and roasted garlic. Served with a **meat gravy** brewed from bone drippings, herbs, and earthy umami tones, it is ritual, not side dish.
