Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 large Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into even chunks of about 1 inch to ensure they cook evenly.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt. Add the potatoes and carrots and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender when pierced with a fork.
While the vegetables are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.
Once fully cooked, drain the potatoes and carrots thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add the olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes and carrots.
Using a potato masher or an electric mixer on low speed, mash the mixture until it's smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with more almond milk if necessary.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Serve the mashed potatoes and carrots hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
