Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes
These mashed potatoes are not only dairy-free but are also packed with flavor, making them a fantastic choice for anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. You won’t be able to tell that they are dairy-free because they’re so creamy and indulgent!
### Ingredients:
- 2 pounds of potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russets work best)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (or vegan butter for a richer taste)
- 4 cloves of garlic (minced, optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into evenly-sized chunks. This will help them cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot filled with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- If you’re adding garlic, sauté it in a small pan with a splash of olive oil over low heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add in the almond milk, olive oil (or vegan butter), and sautéed garlic (if using).
- Using a potato masher or electric mixer, mash the potatoes to your desired creaminess. Add salt and pepper to taste as you mix.
- If you prefer your mashed potatoes creamier, feel free to add more almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Once everything is combined, transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Garnish with chives or parsley if desired.
Enjoy your Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes as a perfect accompaniment to your favorite main dishes or simply on their own. They’re sure to please even the pickiest eaters!
