Yellow-fleshed potatoes, like Yukon gold, are dense, creamy and moderately starchy, making them perfect for mashed potatoes-especially these vegan spuds, which have no dairy and are low in calories and fat.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large cloves garlic, peeled
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 potatoes)
1 cup plain unsweetened almond or other plant-based milk, warm, plus more if needed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced chives (about 1/4 a small bunch), plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, wrap and roast until very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Strain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
  • Add the roasted garlic with any juice that has collected, almond milk, remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to the potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for mashing as they are starchy and fluffy.
  • Roast the garlic: Roasting garlic mellows its flavor and adds a lovely nutty aroma to the mashed potatoes.
  • Use low-fat milk or broth: This will help to reduce the fat content of the mashed potatoes without sacrificing flavor.
  • Use less butter: You can reduce the amount of butter used in mashed potatoes by half without compromising the taste.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or rosemary can brighten up the flavor of mashed potatoes. A sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can also add depth of flavor.
  • Don't overmix the potatoes: Overmixing can make the potatoes gluey. Mash them just until they are combined.
  • Serve immediately: Mashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, reheat them gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By using low-fat milk or broth, less butter, and roasted garlic, you can create a mashed potato dish that is both flavorful and nutritious. These tips will help you create the perfect mashed potatoes every time.
