Ingredients

• 2 pounds russet potatoes
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form.

Step 6

Add the soy sauce, onion powder, and dried thyme to the gravy. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.

Step 7

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot.

Step 8

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add the almond milk, vegan butter, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 10

Serve the mashed potatoes on a plate and generously ladle the vegan gravy over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives, if desired, and enjoy!
