Mashed potatoes are certainly a staple on many holiday tables, and this vegan take will not disappoint. These tasty tots will be a hit at every family holiday dinner or “friends-giving” … or make a big bowl for yourself and eat the whole thing (we won’t tell!).

Ingredients

10-12 large potatoes, washed, skin on mashing potatoes, cut into 1/6’s
1/3 cup unsweetened soy milk (oat or almond)
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Coarse salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. In large sauce pot add chunked potatoes, cover with water and bring to boil on med-high heat. Check potatoes after 5 minutes, they’re done when they easily break apart with a fork.

  2. Remove from heat and strain water from potatoes.

  3. In original pot with cooked potatoes add black pepper and pinch of salt (optional) and whip/mash with potato masher until smooth and no lumps. Set aside.

Additional Options

  • For a healthier version sub the soy milk for this amazing Cashew Sour Cream done for Game Changers.

  • Swap out a couple of the white masher potatoes for sweet potatoes or a bit of butternut squash.

  • Use sweet potato instead of white potato just be aware that sweet are a bit less starchy and more watery.
