For an even richer flavor, try roasting the garlic before adding it to the potatoes. Simply toss the garlic cloves with olive oil and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and lightly golden. Feel free to experiment with different types of potatoes. Russet potatoes will yield a fluffier mash, while red potatoes will result in a denser, slightly waxier texture. To keep the potatoes warm before serving, place them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
In a large pot, combine the potatoes, water, vegetable broth, and sliced garlic. (2 minutes)
02
Step
18 mins
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer gently until the potatoes are fork-tender. (15-20 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Drain the potatoes thoroughly, reserving about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the drained potatoes to the pot. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Place the pot over medium heat and stir the potatoes continuously to evaporate any excess moisture. This step helps to prevent a watery final consistency. (2-3 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Remove the pot from the heat. Add the olive oil (or vegan butter) and begin to mash the potatoes with a potato masher or an electric mixer for a smoother consistency. (2 minutes)
06
Step
5 mins
Gradually add the reserved cooking liquid and rice milk, alternating between them, while continuing to mash. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired creaminess. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in gummy potatoes. (5 minutes)
07
Step
1 mins
Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (1 minutes)
08
Step
1 mins
Garnish with fresh chives or parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
