Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes peeled and cut into 1-2 inch chunks
- 1 cup unsweetened plain oat milk warmed
- 1/2 cup dairy-free stick butter melted
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup fresh chives chopped

- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
Instructions
Instructions
- Peel and cut potatoes into roughly 1-2 inch pieces, then rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain the cooked potatoes well in a colander, then return them to the hot pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes, shaking occasionally to remove any extra moisture.
- Remove the pot from heat and add the warm oat milk, melted dairy-free butter, and minced garlic to the hot potatoes.
- Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy, being careful not to over-mash to avoid a gummy texture.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast, chopped fresh chives, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- If the mashed potatoes are too thick, gradually add more warm dairy-free milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust the seasoning as needed for perfect flavor.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
For the best creamy texture, avoid over-mashing the potatoes. You can adjust the amount of oat milk to achieve your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings generously before serving.
