Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into even-sized chunks, about 2 inches in diameter. This ensures even cooking.
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes on low heat to remove any excess moisture.
Add the garlic hummus, unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk), olive oil, and ground black pepper to the cooked potatoes. Mash everything together using a potato masher or a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Transfer the hummus mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as a flavorful and healthy side dish. Enjoy!
