Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into approximately 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes 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 medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, warm the almond milk over low heat, making sure it does not boil.
Add the olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and minced garlic to the warmed almond milk. Let it infuse over low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Using a potato masher or electric mixer, begin mashing the potatoes until smooth.
Slowly pour the herb-infused almond milk into the mashed potatoes, continuing to mash until you reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve the mashed potatoes warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh finish.
