Notes
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Use Yukon gold or Russet potatoes for this recipe.
- For creamier mashed potatoes, peel them. For a more hearty texture, do not peel them.
- I love using Earth Balance vegan buttery sticks.
- Boil until the potatoes are very tender.
- For extra creamy potatoes, blend them in a blender or food processor.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
