Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for richness)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegan butter substitute
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Add peeled, chopped potatoes to a large pot of salted water. Boil for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly.
- Infuse with Garlic: In a small pan, gently sauté minced garlic in olive oil for 1–2 minutes over low heat.
- Mash to Perfection: Return drained potatoes to the pot. Add warm garlic oil, dairy-free milk, salt, and pepper. Mash with a masher or hand mixer until fluffy and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency: Add more milk for smoother texture or olive oil for extra richness.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle parsley or chives on top and serve warm with your favorite main course.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing: Freeze up to 2 months in freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: Warm gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of almond milk or olive oil.
- Tips: Use Yukon Gold for creaminess, don’t overmix, and always mash while warm.
- Variations: Try roasted garlic, cauliflower mix, herb-infused, or coconut cream versions for unique flavors.
