Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 large cloves garlic, peeled
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 4 potatoes)
1 cup plain unsweetened almond or other plant-based milk, warm, plus more if needed
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced chives (about 1/4 a small bunch), plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, wrap and roast until very tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Strain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
  • Add the roasted garlic with any juice that has collected, almond milk, remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth or to the desired consistency, adding additional almond milk if necessary. Stir in the chives and add salt to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with additional chives and serve.

Yield Serves 6 to 8

  • Drain the potatoes thoroughly: This will help to prevent them from becoming watery.
  • Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or ricer: This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add the milk, butter, and garlic: Start with a small amount of each and then add more to taste.
  • Season the mashed potatoes with salt and pepper: To taste.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped chives or parsley: This will add a pop of color and flavor.
