Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 3 lbs russet potatoes
  • 1/3 cup diced onion
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced

Liquid & Fats

  • 1 1/2 cups vegan butter, softened
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened unflavored almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot for boiling.
  2. Boil Potatoes: Cover the potatoes with hot water, ensuring they are fully submerged, and generously salt the water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Cook Until Tender: Boil the potatoes until a fork or knife pierces through easily, indicating they are soft and cooked through, approximately 20-25 minutes depending on size.
  4. Sauté Onions and Garlic: While the potatoes cook, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until the onions become translucent and the mixture is softened.
  5. Make Garlic-Onion Puree: Transfer the sautéed garlic and onions to a blender or food processor. Add the unsweetened almond milk and blend until a smooth paste is formed.
  6. Mash Potatoes: Drain the cooked potatoes and transfer them to a large bowl. Mash them with a potato masher or fork until smooth but still slightly textured.
  7. Combine and Season: Stir in the garlic-onion puree, softened vegan butter, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For creamier mashed potatoes, add more almond milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Russet potatoes work best for mashing due to their high starch content.
  • Sautéing the garlic and onions enhances their flavor which blends smoothly into the potatoes.
  • Use vegan butter that is soft but not melted for better texture and incorporation.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made with any plant-based milk to suit preferences.
