Ingredients
- 6-8 medium Yukon gold potatoes (if large, cut in half)*
- 1 tsp sea salt (divided)
- water to cover
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 5-6 cloves raw or roasted garlic (or sub minced garlic sautéed for 3 minutes in olive oil)*
- 3-4 Tbsp vegan butter (such as Earth Balance // melted/softened)
- 1/4 cup fresh chives (for topping // optional)
Instructions
- For creamier mashed potatoes, peel your potatoes at this time. Otherwise, just halve your potatoes and place in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by ~1 inch.
- Bring to a light boil over high heat and add 1 tsp of sea salt (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), and cook for 25-30 minutes or until very tender. They should effortlessly slide off a knife when pierced with a knife.
- While the potatoes are cooking, chop up your chives (optional) and measure your vegan butter.
- Once tender, drain your potatoes and place them back in the hot pot off the heat for 1 minute to evaporate any additional water.
- Mash your potatoes using a potato masher until fluffy.
- Add in vegan butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Lastly top with chives (optional, stir and serve as is or with your favorite gravy (or mushroom gravy). Leftovers will keep in the fridge covered for up to a few days. Not freezer friendly.
Notes
- *Use organic potatoes if possible, especially since you leave the skin on.*To roast a head of garlic, simply cup the top off to expose tips, rub with olive oil, wrap in foil and bake for 50 minutes – 1 hour in a 400-degree F (204 C) oven directly on the rack. Cloves should squeeze out easily once cooled. Discard skins/peel.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated with 6 yukon gold potatoes and the lesser amount of Earth Balance vegan butter.
