Ingredients

• 2 pounds Russet potatoes
• 0.25 cup Vegan butter
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for brushing)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into large, evenly-sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam dry for a couple of minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes thoroughly until they are smooth and lump-free.

Step 6

Add the vegan butter, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg to the mashed potatoes.

Step 7

Mix well with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potato mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.

Step 10

Pipe the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in swirls, each about 2-3 inches in diameter.

Step 11

Lightly brush the tops of the piped potatoes with olive oil to help them achieve a golden, crispy finish during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops of the duchess potatoes are golden brown.

Step 13

Once baked, remove them from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 14

Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add color and flavor.
