Ingredients

  • 5 russet potatoes
  • 1/4 cup dairy free butter - so note in blog for brand ideas
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt - add more or less to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper - add more or less to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dairy free milk - see note in blog post about dairy free milk
  • 1 cup water that potatoes were boiled in

Instructions

  • Peel your potatoes according to your preference. I like some skin left on so I don't peel them perfectly. Cut your potatoes into large chunks to help them cook faster while boiling.
  • Fill a large pot with cold water and add in your potato chunks. Boil your potato chunks for about 25 minutes or until a fork inserted into a potato chunk goes in extremely easily. I like my potatoes cooked very well because it ensures you will have smooth mashed potatoes.
  • Before you drain your potatoes use a mug to remove some water. I usually reserve two mugs full of the cooking water just in case I need extra. Once you have reserved your water drain your potatoes in a colander. 
  • Add cooked potatoes to your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add in your dairy free butter, salt, and pepper. Mix on medium-low until potatoes are mashed. With the mixer on the lowest setting add in your dairy free milk and slowly add in your water. Start with about half the water and add the rest slowly until you reach your desired consistency.
  • You can eat your mashed potatoes right away or reheat them in a pot if needed. If reheating you may need to add a bit more water to make sure they are not too dry.
