Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the garlic cloves.
In a small skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the garlic until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.
Add the frozen peas to the skillet with the garlic, stir, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the peas are heated through.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork until they reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the vegan butter and almond milk. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if necessary.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently fold in the sautéed garlic and peas.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Mashed Potatoes with Peas.
