Vegan mashed potatoes, a very simple garnish that goes with any dish. It’s so creamy, easy to make at home, and incredibly rich.

Today we go again with an easy and quick recipe to make, vegan mashed potatoes. Veganizing this recipe is very simple, as we only had to make a potato puree without milk, replacing it with a vegetable drink, also known as vegetable milk or vegetable cream (although it is not correct to name it this way since it is not milk). As you may have seen, potatoes are a very present ingredient in our recipes, and that, apart from the rich ones that they are, they provide us with great nutritional value (especially if we eat them with skin), since they are a source of potassium and vitamin C, apart from the fact that they are very satiating.

It is worth preparing the mashed potato at home and not resorting to the preparations sold in supermarkets, which are often loaded with preservatives and additives. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper, you only need 4 ingredients, and it’s ready in about 30 minutes or less.

How to Make Vegan Mashed Potatoes – Step by Step

  • Put the potatoes in a pot and add cold water (photo 1) .
  • Cook over high heat until the water boils and then cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender (photo 2) .

  • To remove excess moisture from the potatoes, put the potatoes back in the pot and cook them over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes , stirring frequently (photo 4 ). This step is optional.
  • Mash the potatoes with the help of a potato masher, a fork or a food processor (photo 5) . You can also use a hand mixer.

Ingredients

SCALE1x2x3x

  • 2 pounds ( 1 kilogram ) potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch or 2-cm cubes
  • 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or  melted vegan butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 – 3/4 cup unsweetened non- dairy milk ( 125 – 200 ml), I used soy milk

Instructions

  1. Put the potatoes in a pot and add cold water (the potatoes have to be covered).
  2. Cook over high heat until the water comes to a boil, then cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  3. Strain the potatoes.
  4. To remove excess moisture from the potatoes, you can put them back in the pot and cook them over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. This step is optional.
  5. Mash the potatoes with the help of a potato masher, a fork, a masher. You can also use a hand mixer.
  6. Pour in the oil and stir until it is completely integrated with the potatoes.
  7. Add the salt and stir again.
  8. Finally, add the milk little by little (ideally, it is hot so that the puree does not get cold, but it is not essential). I like to add it in 2 or 3 batches, mixing in between. Add more or less milk depending on how thick you like the puree.
  9. Once you have stirred until you get a homogeneous consistency, you can serve the puree. I sprinkled some ground black pepper and chives on top for garnish, but it’s optional.
  10. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
