Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 large Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives
Instructions
Peel and cube the russet potatoes into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or put through a ricer for a smoother texture.
Gradually add the garlic-infused olive oil, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir well to combine.
Adjust seasoning to taste. If the mixture is too stiff, add more vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time until desired creaminess is achieved.
Finely chop the chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chives if desired.
