Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese shreds
- 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Vegan bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Peel and cube the Russet potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the unsweetened almond milk in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to evaporate excess water.
Add the vegan butter, warm almond milk, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground black pepper to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in half of the vegan cheddar cheese shreds, chopped green onions, and vegan bacon bits into the mashed potatoes.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with the remaining vegan cheddar cheese shreds, bacon bits, and green onions.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your vegan loaded mashed potatoes!
