Ingredients You Need
Vegan Mashed Potatoes Recipe
- 3 large Russet Potatoes
- 1/4 cup Vegan Butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk
- Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper to taste
Optional
- 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic
- 1 tsp Chives
How to Make Creamy Vegan Mashed Potatoes
- Peel potatoes if you like (we leave skin on personally), and chop them.
- Put potatoes in a large/medium pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes.
- Drain potatoes, then place them back into the pot and cook on high for 45-60 seconds. It will help remove some moisture.
- Leave the pot on the stove, and turn off the heat. Add 1/2 cup non-dairy milk, 1/4 cup non-dairy butter, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (and any optional ingredients like minced garlic and chives). Use potato masher to mash up the potatoes until most chunks are gone. Serve!
