Instructions
1
Place your peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. You want the potatoes fully covered with about an inch of water above the potatoes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt.
2
Place on the stove and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Once done, drain water and return the potatoes to the pot.
3
Add the softened butter to the pot with the potatoes and mash with a potato masher OR by using an electric beater. Mash until creamy and little or no chunks remain.
4
Stir in the mayo, milk and salt and pepper to taste. I like to start with about 1/4 teaspoon of fine sea salt and a little pepper and then add more, tasting as I go.
5
Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
1
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of milk to keep them creamy.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Choose Yukon Gold for Creaminess 🥔Yukon Gold potatoes have naturally higher starch and butter content, making them inherently creamier than other varieties without requiring excessive dairy alternatives.
- Warm Your Non-Dairy Milk First 🥛Heat your non-dairy milk before adding it to the hot potatoes to prevent temperature shock and ensure smooth, lump-free mashing with better texture absorption.
- Use Vegan Mayo for Hidden Richness 🧑🍳Vegan mayo adds emulsifying properties and fat that create an ultra-silky texture and luxurious mouthfeel that non-dairy milk alone cannot achieve.
- Salt Your Potato Water Generously 🧂Season boiling water like the sea before adding potatoes so they absorb flavor from within, requiring less salt adjustment at the end and delivering better overall taste.
- Reserve Starchy Water for Perfect Consistency 💧Save a cup of potato cooking water before draining—use it instead of extra milk to thin potatoes if needed, as starch naturally creates creaminess without added ingredients.
