- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and carrots, then cut them into even chunks of about 1 inch to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt. Add the potatoes and carrots and reduce to a simmer.
Step 3
Cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
While the vegetables are cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.
Step 5
Once fully cooked, drain the potatoes and carrots thoroughly and return them to the pot.
Step 6
Add the olive oil, unsweetened almond milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes and carrots.
Step 7
Using a potato masher or an electric mixer on low speed, mash the mixture until it's smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with more almond milk if necessary.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Step 9
Serve the mashed potatoes and carrots hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
