Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap them to create a sealed packet.

Step 3

Roast the garlic in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and golden brown.

While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Place the chopped potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the pot.

Step 8

Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the pot with the potatoes.

Step 9

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, vegan butter, and 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk to the potatoes.

Step 10

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth and creamy, adding additional almond milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.

Step 11

Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
