One-Pot Mashed Potatoes

One-Pot Mashed Potatoes

There’s nothing like a delicious side of mashed potatoes. I love mine with butter. How about you? I think the butter adds the nice texture and creaminess that we all desire when we have hot luscious mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs golden potatoes , peeled and quartered
  • water (enough to cover potatoes by ~1 inch)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 5 cloves garlic , minced
  • 4 tbsp butter or dairy-free butter
  • 2-3 tbsp plain unsweetened dairy-free milk (we prefer almond milk)
  • ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper , to taste
  • pinch dried parsley for presentation

Instructions

  • In a large pot add potatoes and water. The water should cover about an inch over the potatoes.
  • Set temperature to high heat.
  • When the water starts to boil add salt and reduce heat to medium high.
  • Check potatoes after 20-25 minutes with a sharp knife.
  • If it is easy to slide the knife in, then the potatoes are done. Give them 5 more minutes if it is difficult to pierce the potato with the knife.
  • Once tender, turn off heat and remove from heat.
  • Strain potatoes.
  • Return to the cooking pot.
  • Use a potato masher (or a fork) to mash the potatoes.
  • Add garlic, butter and milk and black pepper.
  • Mash until you smooth.
  • Taste for more salt or black pepper.
  • Serve hot, garnish with parsley (optional) and enjoy.

Notes

  • For a  fluffier consistency add milk and butter. Be sure not to add too much or they will become runny.
