The Perfect Mashed Potatoes
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4-5 large Yukon Gold Potatoes, washed, peeled, and halved
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk or dairy free alternative milk, add another tbsp if potatoes need it.
- 2 tbsp dairy free butter divided, Earth Balance
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional add-ins and toppings: fresh garlic, diced green onions, fresh chives, dairy free sour cream, bacon
Instructions
- In a large pot filled 3/4 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 tbsp dairy free milk if potatoes seem dry.
- Be careful not to over beat the potatoes. Their texture changes when over beat.
- Serve immediately with a large dollop of dairy free butter.
- These potatoes can be easily stored in the refrigerator and reheated as leftovers.
