Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 pound Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into evenly-sized chunks, about 1-2 inches.
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the potato chunks. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, steam or boil the broccoli florets in a separate pot for about 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and minced garlic over medium heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the vegan butter and mash using a potato masher until you've reached your desired consistency.
Gradually add the warm almond milk and garlic mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the cooked broccoli florets into the mashed potatoes.
Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives if desired.
