Vegan Mashed Potatoes:


INGREDIENTS:


1 pound yukon gold potatoes, (we keep them unpeeled!)

2 Tablespoons vegan butter

Sea salt, to taste

2 cloves garlic, chopped (optional)

1. Cut potatoes into quarters and add to a pot. Cover the potatoes with several inches of water and add 1-2 tablespoons of salt. Bring to a boil.

2. Allow potatoes to boil for 25-30 minutes until tender. Reserve 1 cup of cooking water and drain.

3. Over medium heat, melt butter. If you like garlic and extra flavor, add garlic and cook 2-3 minutes one butter has melted.

4. Add butter and salt to potatoes. Mash until creamy, but still chunky. The chunkier consistency works well for our Mashed Potato Bites!
