Ingredients that Rock!
Now that you’ve seen the magic, let’s gather the ingredients to whip up these fluffy clouds of joy:
- 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk you fancy)
- 1/4 cup vegan butter (yes, it exists, and it’s glorious)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust based on your vampire-slaying needs)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Chives or parsley for garnish (if you’re feeling fancy)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Ready to make some mashed potato magic? Follow these steps, and you’ll be a spud master in no time!
- First, grab those Yukon Gold potatoes, peel them like a banana (but, you know, not banana-like).
- Dice them up into even chunks —think potato cubes that want to be friends, not foes. Ensure the pieces are about 1-inch in size to cook evenly.
- Fill a large pot with water, add the diced potatoes, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, around 15-20 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the water and return the potatoes to the pot.
- Add the vegan butter, almond milk, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Now, channel your inner mash master.
- Using a potato masher (or a fork if you’re feeling rebellious), mash those potatoes until they reach your desired creaminess.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, because life is too short for bland potatoes. If you’re feeling extra gourmet, top with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
Time to Serve!
Dish up these fluffy delights and watch them disappear faster than you can say “more mashed potatoes, please!” Pair with your favorite vegan gravy or enjoy them straight-up. Either way, you’re in for a treat that’s easier than deciding what to binge-watch next!
