Garlic &Herb Mashed Potatoes

 

INGREDIENTS:

4 CUPS OF POTATOES, CUBED*

1.5 CUPS OF UNSWEETENED PLANT MILK *

1 TBSP. VEGAN BUTTER

3 CLOVES OF GARLIC, MINCED

FRESH CHOPPED PARSLEY 

ITALIAN SEASONING 

SALT & PEPPER 

METHOD:

1. PUT YOUR CUBED POTATOES INTO A LARGE, STURDY MIXING BOWL. 

*I LEAVE MY SKINS ON MY POTATOES, BUT YOU CAN PEEL THEM IF YOU WANT A SMOOTHER TEXTURE. 

2. WARM MILK AND BUTTER OVER MEDIUM LOW HEAT UNTIL YOU SEE STEAM RISING. DO NOT BOIL. 

3. ADD GARLIC, PARSLEY, ITALIAN SEASONING, SALT, AND PEPPER TO THE WARM MILK. 

4. LET THE GARLIC FLAVOR YOUR MILK. YOU WILL KNOW IT'S READY ONCE YOU CAN SMELL THE GARLIC. 

5. ADD HALF YOUR MILK TO THE POTATOES AND START TO MASH (YOU CAN USE A HAND MASHER, A BLENDER, WHATEVER METHOD YOU PREFER). ADD MORE MILK SLOWLY UNTIL YOUR POTATOES REACH THE CREAMINESS LEVEL YOU PREFER. (MORE MILK = A SMOOTHER TEXTURE. LESS MILK = A MORE LUMPY TEXTURE). 

6. CONTINUE TO MASH YOUR POTATOES UNTIL THEY REACH YOUR DESIRED TEXTURE. 

7. SERVE YOUR POTATOES WITH MELTED BUTTER AND GARNISH WITH FRESHLY CHOPPED PARSLEY (OPTIONAL).
