Ingredients
4-5largeYukon Gold Potatoeswashed, peeled, cut into smaller equal size pieces
1egg
2Tablespoonsunsweetened almond milk or dairy free alternative milk, add another tablespoon if potatoes need it.
2Tablespoonsdairy free buttersuggestion in post
salt and pepperto taste
optional add-ins and toppings: fresh garlic, diced green onions, fresh chives, dairy free sour cream, bacon
Instructions
In a large pot filled ¾ of the way with water, and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil over medium high heat.
Continue to cook until potatoes are fork tender. Plan on 20-30 minutes. Don't over boil the potatoes.
Drain the potatoes.
Place potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add dairy free milk, salt, pepper, dairy free butter, and an egg. If you're adding in additional seasonings or toppings do so now.
Mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until combined. Add an additional 1 tablespoon dairy free milk if potatoes seem dry.
Be careful not to over beat the potatoes. Their texture changes when over beat.
Serve immediately.
These potatoes can be easily stored in the refrigerator and reheated as leftovers.
Notes
Do not let the potatoes get too soft when boiling. Check them often.
Do not over mix the potatoes with the mixer. They'll turn soupy and it can be hard to get them back to the right consistency from there.
If you don't want to use as much milk, you can use some of the "potato water" from when you boiled the fresh potatoes. This may also be helpful to use if the mashed potatoes seem a bit dry. Starch water can help thicken them up a bit.
If you don't want to mix with an electric mixer, you can use a potato masher and you'll still have the best mashed potatoes.
When reheating, if you don't want to add more milk or butter, add a dash of chicken broth or vegetable broth to help moisten them back up.
