Ingredients & Substitutions
Sweet potatoes are not only delicious but also a nutritional powerhouse! You can use any variety, but I love the vibrant orange ones. Nutritional yeast gives that cheesy flavor without any vegan cream cheese, and if you want a richer taste, feel free to adjust the olive oil or almond milk to your liking. Sometimes, I’ll use a bit of coconut almond milk for a sweeter twist.
Tips & Notes
- •For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
- •I often make a double batch and keep leftovers in the fridge for a quick side dish later in the week.
Recipe Variations
- •If you’re feeling adventurous, throw in some sautéed spinach or kale for a pop of color and nutrition!
- •Sometimes I add a splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick. It really brightens up the flavors!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can reheat it in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of plant-based almond milk to bring back that creamy texture!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?
Absolutely! Regular potatoes will work just fine, but you'll miss out on that lovely sweetness. If you do use them, consider adding a bit of maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they’re fork-tender.
- 2
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and just starting to turn golden.
- 3
Once the sweet potatoes are ready, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic, nutritional yeast, plant-based almond milk, salt, and black pepper.
- 4
Using a potato masher or fork, mash everything together until you reach your desired consistency. I like mine a little chunky!
- 5
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you want it creamier, just add a splash more of the plant-based almond milk.
- 6
Serve warm, garnished with chopped chives. Enjoy every comforting bite!
