Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 2-3 inches each, for even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and easily pierced with a knife.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over low to medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.
When the potatoes are done cooking, drain them thoroughly and return them to the now-empty pot. Allow the potatoes to sit in the pot for 1-2 minutes to let any excess water evaporate.
Using a potato masher or handheld mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Gradually add the sautéed garlic and olive oil mixture, along with the dairy-free milk, to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well-combined and creamy. Adjust the amount of milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this comforting dairy-free side dish!
