Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the potatoes are cooking, place the frozen peas in a small saucepan. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the warm pot.
Step 6
Add olive oil, almond milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Step 7
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy, adding additional almond milk if needed to achieve desired consistency.
Step 8
Fold in the cooked peas gently to combine.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Step 10
Transfer the mashed potatoes with peas to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot.
