Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the purple potatoes. Cut them into even-sized chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their flavor.
Place the potato chunks and garlic cloves in a large pot. Cover with cold water, adding a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and garlic well, then return them to the pot.
Add the olive oil, and mash the potatoes and garlic using a potato masher or hand mixer until desired consistency is reached.
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk while mashing, adjusting the amount based on your preferred creaminess.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine thoroughly.
Finely chop the fresh chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes, reserving some for garnish if desired.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved chives. Serve warm.
