Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches thick.
Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Ensure the water level is about an inch above the potatoes.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over low heat and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Keep it warm until the potatoes are ready.
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for a minute to let any excess water evaporate.
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Gradually mix in the warm melted dairy-free butter and almond milk mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and smooth.
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free classic mashed potatoes!
