I have recently gone vegan, which I love, but I missed one of my favorite things, mashed potatoes. I decided to create a simple vegan and soy-free recipe for the non-chef - me! So here it is - a nice base recipe if you are lactose intolerant (like my son) and/or vegan. Hope you like!

Ingredients

  • 6 baby red potatoes, halved, or more to taste

  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk, or more to taste

  • ½ lemon, juiced, or more to taste

  • 1 tablespoon soy-free buttery spread (such as Earth Balance®), melted, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes fall apart with pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain.

  2. Place potatoes in a deep bowl; mix lightly. Add almond milk, lemon juice, buttery spread, garlic, and salt. Mash to desired consistency.

Cook's Notes:

These are not exact measurements - this is definitely a recipe to play around with - but I did use all the lemon juice!

You can also used a baked potato and a few baby red potatoes - this gives a chunkier texture, which I prefer.

Substitute any non-dairy milk for the almond milk if preferred.
