Recipe of the Week: Creamy Mashed Potatoes!

What’s the first side dish you think of when you think “Thanksgiving“?

Mashed potatoes! I’m going to assume that everyone loves potatoes as much as I do—they’re deliciously versatile and sometimes they even come in a box (maybe not as tasty as the real deal—but, hey, I’m a busy woman). My family always makes this mashed potato recipe, and I finally got them to veganize it a few years ago. So here you have it: creamy mashed potatoes!

Creamy Mashed Potatoes
3 lbs. potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup vegan sour cream
1 1/2 cups soy milk
3 Tbsp. onion powder
3 Tbsp. garlic powder
Salt, to taste
Chives, for garnish

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Add the potatoes and cook for about 30 minutes. (They’re done when you can stick a fork through them.)
  • Drain the water and put the potatoes back in the pot.
  • Over low heat, mash the potatoes with a potato ricer or a large fork.
  • Add the vegan sour cream, soy milk, and onion and garlic powders and stir.
  • Taste to make sure everything is all good in the hood. Add salt, to taste.
  • If you’re going to serve the dish immediately, just warm it up a bit on the stove. If you’re going to serve it later, place in a pan and refrigerate. Before serving, warm it in the oven at 350ºF for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle some snipped chives on top, so your potatoes look pretty!

Be sure to tune in next week for more drool-worthy Thanksgiving dishes!

    YUM! I love mashed potatoes. I wish there were more commercially available vegan gravy, though. What do you suggest for gravy?

    Hmmm, tasty! I’ll make this with maybe some creamed cashews and soy creamer.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
