Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes
Description
The potatoes are peeled partially to leave some skin for texture, then cut into one-inch cubes and boiled with a pinch of salt until fork-tender. After draining, the potatoes are mashed in the warm pot with vegan butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Rosmary can be added as a garnish to complement the flavor.
The choice of russet or Yukon gold potatoes ensures a soft, tender mash. Garlic enhances flavor depth without overwhelming the dish. Vegan or dairy-free butter provides richness typical of traditional mashed potatoes without dairy content.
These mashed potatoes work well as a side for main courses where a creamy, dairy-free accompaniment is desired. Stirring during cooking prevents potatoes from sticking or burning. Testing with a fork confirms doneness before mashing.
Storage instructions include refrigerating leftovers for up to 4 days. Garlic powder can be substituted for fresh garlic if needed, maintaining flavor with less prep.
Ingredients
- 6 russet potato or Yukon gold
- 3 tbsp vegan butter or dairy free butter, room temperature
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper ground
- 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
- Use Russet or Yukon gold potatoes for a tender, creamy mash.
- Choose medium-sized potatoes for even cooking.
- Vegan or dairy-free butter is essential to keep the recipe dairy free.
- Stir potatoes occasionally while boiling to prevent burning.
- Test potato doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.
- Fresh minced garlic can be replaced with garlic powder as a substitute.
- Store leftovers covered and refrigerated for up to 4 days.
