Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free butter
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 1 to 2 inches thick.
Step 2
Place the cut potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Ensure the water level is about an inch above the potatoes.
Step 3
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15 to 20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, melt the dairy-free butter over low heat and stir in the unsweetened almond milk. Keep it warm until the potatoes are ready.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot. Allow the potatoes to sit for a minute to let any excess water evaporate.
Step 6
Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Step 7
Gradually mix in the warm melted dairy-free butter and almond milk mixture, stirring until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 8
Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
Step 9
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free classic mashed potatoes!
