Ingredients

  • 6 Russet potatoes, or Yukon gold
  • 3 tbsp Vegan butter, or dairy free butter, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp ground pepper
  • rosemary, optional garnish

Instructions 

  • First, wash and dry potatoes. Peel potatoes almost completely (leave a little skin for extra texture). Slice potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
  • Add cubed potatoes and enough water to cover them into a large pot or saucepan over high heat. Add in a pinch of salt.
  • Bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium heat. Boil on medium high for 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Once potatoes are fork tender, drain completely. Turn stove off.
  • Add potatoes back to the hot saucepan. Then, add in remaining ingredients. Use potato masher to mash everything together until creamy.
  • Finally, serve! Garnish with rosemary and additional Vegan butter if desired.

Notes

  • I highly recommend using Russet or Yukon gold potatoes.  They become soft and tender.  Use medium sized potatoes.
  • Use Vegan butter or dairy free butter.
  • Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from burning.
  • To test if potatoes are fork tender, carefully insert fork into potato.  If it slides in and out easily, potatoes are done.
  • Feel free to replace fresh minced garlic with garlic powder if needed.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
