Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Carrots
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Roughly chop the carrots into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
Step 3
Place the potatoes, carrots, and garlic cloves into a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the vegetables by about an inch.
Step 4
Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender.
Step 6
Drain the vegetables and garlic in a colander, and then return them to the pot.
Step 7
Add olive oil, almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper to the pot.
Step 8
Using a potato masher or an electric hand mixer, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 9
Chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the mashed mixture.
Step 10
Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
