Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly-sized chunks (about 1-2 inches).

Step 2

Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let the potatoes simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the unsweetened almond milk in a saucepan over low heat until it's warm but not boiling.

Step 5

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove from the heat.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot.

Step 7

Add the vegan butter, warmed almond milk, sautéed garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and ground black pepper to the pot with the potatoes.

Step 8

Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Fold in the chopped fresh chives, reserving a few for garnish.

Step 10

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with the remaining chives, and serve warm.
