DESCRIPTION

This rich and creamy almond milk mashed potato recipe is the perfect cozy side dish. It provides all the same comforting flavors as the classic mashed potatoes, but with a lighter, dairy-free twist. These mashed potatoes are easy to whip together with just a few simple ingredients. Pair it with a variety of mains, from grilled veggies to vegan tofurky roasts.

INGREDIENTS
  

  • 4 whole potatoes (Russet) large
  • 1 ¼ cup almond milk room temperature
  • ⅓ cup vegan butter melted
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup Italian parsley chopped
  • 2 tablespoon chives chopped

METHOD
 

  • Wash, peel, and roughly chop potatoes.
  • In a large pot, submerge potatoes in boiling water and cover askew for 20-25 minutes. If potatoes are fork tender, then remove from heat. Then drain out the potatoes using a strainer and set aside in a large bowl.
  • Mash all the potatoes using a potato masher.
  • Use the same large pot, add the vegan butter, almond milk, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper on low-medium heat. Whisk together to form a sauce like consistency.
  • Then, add the mash potatoes in with the sauce and mix together with a spatula on low heat till all the potatoes are combined into the sauce.
  • Mix in the fresh parsley, then transfer to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with fresh chives before serving.
    Optional: Drizzle with some more melted vegan butter and crushed black pepper.

NOTES

  • Potato choice: Opt for starchy potatoes (like Russets) for the creamiest texture.
  • Room temperature ingredients: Ensure the almond milk and vegan butter are at room temperature before mashing to prevent an overmixed, gummy texture.
  • Use fresh herbs: While you can get away with using dried herbs, opting for fresh herbs makes all the difference!
  • Mashing technique: An electric mixer gives a smoother texture, while a hand masher provides a rustic feel. Choose the kitchen tool based on the results you’re after.
