Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6-8 medium yukon gold potatoes ((if large, cut in half)*)
1 tsp sea salt ((divided))
Water to cover
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
5-6 cloves raw or roasted garlic ((or sub minced garlic sautéed for 3 minutes in olive oil)*)
3-4 Tbsp vegan butter ((such as Earth Balance // melted/softened))
1/4 cup fresh chives ((for topping // optional))

Steps:

  • For creamier mashed potatoes, peel your potatoes at this time. Otherwise, just halve your potatoes and place in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by ~1 inch.
  • Bring to a light boil over high heat and add 1 tsp of sea salt (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), and cook for 25-30 minutes or until very tender. They should effortlessly slide off a knife when pierced with a knife.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, chop up your chives (optional) and measure your vegan butter.
  • Once tender, drain your potatoes and place them back in the hot pot off the heat for 1 minute to evaporate any additional water.
  • Mash your potatoes using a potato masher until fluffy.
  • Add in vegan butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Lastly top with chives (optional, stir and serve as is or with your favorite gravy (or mushroom gravy). Leftovers will keep in the fridge covered for up to a few days. Not freezer friendly.

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.

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. Mash with a potato masher until smooth or to the desired consistency, adding additional almond milk if necessary. Stir in the chives and add salt to taste.
