Since we began eating a plant-based diet, my kids have been craving mashed potatoes for the holidays. I've shied away from the traditional favorite because I was certain nothing could replace the taste of sweet creamery butter and whole milk. Well, at the urging of my kids, my quest for a vegan-friendly recipe took me to the internet this past week. And.....I found the perfect mashed potato recipe, that I simply modified to fit the tastes of my family. The key: veganaise and oat milk. The outcome: everyone said they would have never known they were vegan.
Ingredients:
10 medium russet potatoes
1/4 cup veganaise
1/2 cup oat milk
1/4 tsp garlic salt
dash cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp smoked sea salt
ground black pepper and sea salt to taste
Directions
Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Boil in a saucepan on the stove until tender.
Drain potatoes and put in a large mixing bowl. Add veganaise and begin to mix with an electric mixer. (We have a hand mixer that I set on a low setting (2-3). Add garlic salt, cayenne pepper and smoked salt and a little pepper. Slowly add oat milk as you continue to "mash" the potatoes. Add enough just to get the consistency you like. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
If your family likes more spice or likes garlic mashed potatoes -- either add more cayenne pepper for a little heat, or add more garlic salt (or garlic powder) for a nice garlic mash potato dish.
Serve with your favorite gravy.
