Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches each. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk and vegan butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not boil.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or electric mixer, begin mashing the potatoes. Gradually add the warmed almond milk and vegan butter mixture, mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Serve warm as a delightful vegan side dish.
