Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks about 1.5-2 inches big for uniform cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant, ensuring not to burn it. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes to your desired consistency. For an extra creamy texture, use a hand mixer.
Gradually add the almond milk to the mashed potatoes, combining thoroughly with each addition.
Stir in the garlic-infused olive oil, ensuring the garlic pieces are evenly distributed throughout the potatoes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adding more if desired.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, and if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
