Ingredients
- 1 pound Russet potatoes peeled or unpeeled, and cut into even medium-sized pieces
- 2 to 4 Tablespoons non-dairy milk plain & unsweetened
- 1 heaping Tablespoon vegan butter
- ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water and bring to a low boil. Carefully add the chopped potatoes. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are soft enough to easily puncture with a fork.
- Once the chopped potatoes are soft, drain them over a colander in the sink. Add the potatoes to a large mixing bowl.
- Using a potato masher, hand mixer, or fork, mash the potatoes until soft and fully broken up.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of non-dairy milk and combine. If you'd like creamier potatoes, add up to 2 Tablespoons more. Stir in vegan butter and salt until fully blended.
Notes
To store leftovers, move mashed potatoes to a covered container & refrigerate. They reheat easily in the microwave. If they've gotten too stiff, add another splash of non-dairy milk & vegan butter, and stir.
