Vegan Mashed Potatoes

Growing up, mashed potatoes were always a staple at our family gatherings.
I remember my grandma whipping up a big batch, and the whole house would smell like a warm hug.
Now, I make my own vegan version, and it just feels like home.
A little tip: using a mix of Yukon gold and red potatoes gives the best texture and flavor, so don’t skip that!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I find that Yukon gold potatoes give a creamy texture while the red potatoes add a bit of sweetness. You can totally experiment with your favorite types of potatoes. If you prefer a richer taste, try adding a splash of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to add a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a bit of a kick, especially if I'm serving them with something spicy.
- •If you want an even creamier texture, try using a hand mixer for a few seconds after mashing – just be careful not to overdo it!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll mix in some roasted garlic for a deeper flavor – trust me, it's heavenly.
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll add in some sautéed spinach or kale for a pop of color and nutrition.
Storage & Freezing

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, carefully add the chopped Yukon gold and red potatoes.
- 2
Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they're fork-tender. You can test this by poking one with a fork – it should slide off easily.
- 3
Once they’re done, drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. This helps to evaporate any excess moisture.
- 4
Add the vegan vegan butter and almond oat milk to the potatoes. Using a potato masher or a fork, mash them until they reach your desired creaminess.
- 5
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- 6
Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives if you like. Enjoy the warmth of each bite!
