Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Light sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks for even cooking.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth.
Slowly add the almond milk and light sour cream while continuing to mash, until the desired creaminess is achieved.
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chives, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
