Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form.
Add the soy sauce, onion powder, and dried thyme to the gravy. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add the almond milk, vegan butter, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.
Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Serve the mashed potatoes on a plate and generously ladle the vegan gravy over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives, if desired, and enjoy!
