Ingredients

• 1 kg baby potatoes
• 1 tbsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt (such as soy or almond)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsp chives, chopped
• 0.5 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt.

Step 2

Place the cleaned potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the vegan sour cream. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the unsweetened plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the sour cream and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or lemon juice to taste.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly.

Step 7

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish. Sprinkle with finely chopped chives and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Serve the boiled potatoes warm with a generous dollop of vegan sour cream on the side or drizzled over the top.

Step 9

Enjoy your vegan boiled potatoes with sour cream as a delightful side dish or a light main meal.
