Steps:
- Place garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Pout the vegetable broth over the top.
- Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 8 hours, until the potatoes and garlic are tender.
- Mash the potatoes! You can either use a potato masher or a hand mixer. I don't recommend a food processor or stand mixer because they can overmix the potatoes and give them a starchy consistency. Mash the potatoes a bit, then pour in 1/3 cup of the almond milk. Continue mashing/mixing, adding additional almond milk until the potatoes are your desired consistency. Mix in the chives.
- Taste and add additional salt and some pepper, if desired, to taste.
- Scoop into a bowl and top with more fresh snipped chives and a pat of vegan buttery spread, if desired.
