Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 pound Broccoli florets
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, add the potato chunks. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, steam or boil the broccoli florets in a separate pot for about 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, heat the almond milk and minced garlic over medium heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the vegan butter and mash using a potato masher until you've reached your desired consistency.

Step 7

Gradually add the warm almond milk and garlic mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Gently fold the cooked broccoli florets into the mashed potatoes.

Step 9

Season with salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives if desired.
