Ingredients

• 2 pounds potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of choice)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces for uniform cooking.

Step 2

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Drain the boiled potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash slightly with a potato masher or large fork.

Step 7

Heat the almond milk until warm, avoiding bringing it to a boil.

Step 8

Add the warm almond milk, sautéed garlic with oil, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and lemon juice to the potatoes.

Step 9

Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

Step 11

Transfer the creamed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
