Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and scrub the purple potatoes under cold water. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on will add a rustic texture.
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot.
Add the almond milk, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. For extra creaminess, you can add more almond milk as needed.
Fold in the chopped fresh chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved chives.
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Creamy Mashed Purple Potatoes!
