Easy garlicky mashed potatoes

Fluffy and warm mashed potatoes will curb your carb cravings without the dairy. We made ours extra garlicky and buttery, blending until smooth and creamy.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 to 5 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup unsweetened plant milk or vegan heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add peeled and cubed potatoes and boil for 20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and set aside. 
  • With the pot back on the stove over medium-low heat, melt the butter and sautée the minced garlic. Once the garlic turns slightly brown, remove the pot from the heat. 
  • Add the boiled potatoes and plant milk or heavy cream to the pot, then mash with a potato masher. Do not overwork or the potatoes will turn gummy.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, parsley, and salt and pepper. Serve while warm.
