Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1.5 inches each. Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water.
Step 2
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 3
While the potatoes are cooking, in a small saucepan, gently heat the almond milk and vegan butter over low heat until the butter is melted. Do not boil.
Step 4
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot.
Step 5
Using a potato masher or electric mixer, begin mashing the potatoes. Gradually add the warmed almond milk and vegan butter mixture, mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 7
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
Step 8
Serve warm as a delightful vegan side dish.
