Cheesy Garlic Vegan Mashed Potatoes Recipes

VEGAN GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean potatoes and peel if desired. Cut potatoes into 1/2" rounds and place in a large pot or your 6 qt instant pot.
• Add enough water to cover, which was about 5 cups in my IP.
• Add 1 tsp salt and garlic cloves.
• If using IP: attach the lid and using the STEAM setting - cook for 12 minutes. Use the QR method to remove the pressure.
• If using STOVETOP: bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until soft, about 20-25 minutes.
• Carefully drain the water, reserving about 1/2 cup for later
• Add almond milk and mash until smooth and creamy
• Season with salt & pepper.
• If the potatoes seem too dry, add a little bit of the reserved potato water until you reach your desired consistency
• Stir in miso and mix well. Whip with an electric mixer if desired and serve with your favorite gravy.
• A sprinkling of paprika or chopped chives makes a nice garnish.
