Ingredients
- 2 pounds purple potatoes
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the purple potatoes under cold water. Peel them if desired, though leaving the skin on will add a rustic texture.
Step 2
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks, about 1-2 inches each.
Step 3
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 4
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 5
Drain the potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot.
Step 6
Add the almond milk, olive oil, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.
Step 7
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. For extra creaminess, you can add more almond milk as needed.
Step 8
Fold in the chopped fresh chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired.
Step 10
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved chives.
Step 11
Serve hot and enjoy your Vegan Creamy Mashed Purple Potatoes!
