Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.5 cup vegan bacon bits
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 cup dairy-free cheddar-style cheese shreds
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic powder and cook for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth using a potato masher or a fork.
Step 6
Gradually add the almond milk to the mashed potatoes, stirring continuously until combined and creamy.
Step 7
Stir in the nutritional yeast, cooked garlic oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 8
Fold in half of the green onions, vegan bacon bits, and the cheddar-style cheese shreds into the mashed potatoes.
Step 9
Transfer the loaded mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining green onions, fresh chives, and additional cheese shreds if desired.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free loaded mashed potatoes!
