Ingredients
- 3 lbs Russet Potatoes
- 1/2 cup vegan butter plus more for topping
- 1 1/2 cups potato water reserved after boiling potatoes
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt more or less to taste
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes. You can leave a couple unpeeled for added color and texture. Place in a large pot of salted water and boil over high heat until fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve about 1 ½ to 2 cups potato water.
- Once fork-tender and you've set aside the potato water, drain the potatoes over the sink using a colander. Place back in pot or a large bowl and add vegan butter, sea salt and reserved potato water, a little at a time.
- Using an immersion blender or potato masher, blend or mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Add a little more potato water for a creamier consistency.
- Give dairy-free mashed potatoes the taste test. If needed, add a little more sea salt and dairy-free butter to taste and stir until well-incorporated. Top with a few more dollops of vegan butter and finely chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- For best results, make sure you boil the potatoes until they are fork-tender. This means when you stick a fork in them, it easily glides through. Be careful not to overcook, as this results in mushy potatoes that really can't be fixed.
- If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a large fork, potato masher or an electric hand mixer to blend the potatoes.
- If potatoes are too thick, add more potato water, a little at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
