Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, place the frozen peas in a small saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the warm pot.
Add olive oil, almond milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy, adding additional almond milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Fold in the cooked peas gently to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes with peas to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately while hot.
