These creamy Almond Milk Mashed Potatoes are the perfect dairy-free side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, they’re soft, buttery, and totally delicious, your family will love them!
Start by cutting the potatoes into small, even pieces. Place the cut potatoes in a large pot.
Cover the potatoes with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water to season the potatoes as they cook. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Let the potatoes boil for about 25 minutes. They should be tender enough to pierce easily with a fork.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain the water using a colander. Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Using a hand mixer or a potato masher, whip the potatoes.
Pour in warm almond milk and add the vegan butter. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Continue mashing the potatoes again. If you prefer a smoother texture, use the mixer at a medium speed.
When ready to serve, transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
Keep the Potatoes Hot: For creamier mashed potatoes, keep them warm by covering the pot with a lid while you prepare the other ingredients.
Add Roasted Garlic: Roast a few garlic cloves and mash them into the potatoes for a rich, savory flavor that’ll take your dish to the next level.
Use a Potato Ricer: If you want ultra-smooth mashed potatoes, use a potato ricer instead of a masher or mixer.
