Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, about 1 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.
Step 3
Place the potatoes and garlic cloves into a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes by about an inch.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 6
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander and let them sit to release steam for a minute, which helps dry them before mashing.
Step 7
Return the drained potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add the almond milk and vegan butter.
Step 8
Using a potato masher, mash the potatoes and garlic until they are nice and creamy.
Step 9
Stir in the nutritional yeast, ground black pepper, and any additional salt to taste, to enhance the flavor.
Step 10
Garnish the mashed potatoes with the chopped chives before serving.
Step 11
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy a rich, creamy vegan mashed potato dish.
