Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Russet potatoes
- 6 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Instructions
Peel and cut the Russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk and vegan butter over medium-low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Avoid boiling.
Stir in the minced garlic and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to infuse the flavors, then remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes to your desired consistency.
Gradually add the garlic-infused almond milk mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until the potatoes are creamy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
