Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 pieces Vegan bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add vegan bacon strips to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized pieces.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Add almond milk, vegan butter, nutritional yeast, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Top the mashed potatoes with chopped vegan bacon and fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
