The Best Damn Vegan Mashed Potatoes Sometimes you just can't shake that feeling of needing some good ol' comfort food. Satisfy that urge with this vegan mashed potato recipe.
Ingredients:
6-8 medium Yukon gold potatoes (if large, cut in half)
1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
5-6 cloves roasted garlic (or, sub minced garlic sauteed for 3 minutes in olive oil)
3-4 Tablespoons vegan butter (such as Earth Balance), melted/softened
1/4 cup fresh chives for topping
Instructions:
Place potatoes in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon of sea salt, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or until very tender. They should effortlessly slide off a knife when pierced.
While the potatoes are cooking, chop up your chives and measure your 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. Then transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Mash your potatoes using either a potato masher or a hand mixer until fluffy. Add in butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Lastly, top with chives, stir and serve as is or topped with your favorite gravy.
