Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks, roughly 1 to 2 inches.
Place the potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are very tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and garlic well in a colander.
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and begin mashing gently.
Slowly add the unsweetened almond milk while continuing to mash the potatoes to achieve a creamy consistency. You can adjust the amount of almond milk for your desired consistency.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with optional fresh chives and parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
