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.

Serve and ENJOY!

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 higher natural buttery flavor and waxy texture that creates inherently creamier mashed potatoes without needing excess dairy alternatives.
- Warm Your Non-Dairy Milk First 🥛Heat your non-dairy milk before adding it to hot potatoes to prevent temperature shock and ensure smooth, lump-free incorporation for maximum creaminess.
- Don't Overmix or You'll Get Gluey 🔄Stir gently and briefly after adding wet ingredients—overmixing activates potato starch and creates a gluey, unpleasant texture instead of light and fluffy mash.
- Layer Your Fats for Better Flavor 🧈Add vegan butter first to coat the hot potatoes, then fold in vegan mayo last—this layering technique distributes richness evenly and enhances the luxurious mouthfeel.
- Salt the Cooking Water Generously 🧂Season your potato cooking water like pasta water to build flavor from within the potatoes, reducing the need for excessive salt added at the end.
