• 1 cup Vegan cheddar cheese shreds
• 0.5 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup Vegan bacon bits

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the Russet potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the unsweetened almond milk in a small saucepan until warm but not boiling.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for a minute to evaporate excess water.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Fold in half of the vegan cheddar cheese shreds, chopped green onions, and vegan bacon bits into the mashed potatoes.

Step 9

Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and top with the remaining vegan cheddar cheese shreds, bacon bits, and green onions.
