Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 large Garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer, cooking until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to brown the garlic.

Step 6

Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to let excess moisture evaporate.

Step 7

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or put through a ricer for a smoother texture.

Step 8

Gradually add the garlic-infused olive oil, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes. Stir well to combine.

Step 9

Adjust seasoning to taste. If the mixture is too stiff, add more vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time until desired creaminess is achieved.

Step 10

Finely chop the chives and fold them into the mashed potatoes.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with additional chives if desired.
