Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Roughly chop the carrots into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic cloves into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the vegetables by about an inch.
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
Drain the vegetables and garlic in a colander, and then return them to the pot.
Add olive oil, almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the mashed mixture.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
