Instructions

First, wash and dry the potatoes. Peel them if desired.. Slice into 1 inch cubes.

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan. Cover fully with water.

Bring to a boil. Boil for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are very tender. Add slightly more water as needed.

Next, drain the potatoes in a strainer. Return the potato chunks to the hot saucepan. Add in the sea salt, pepper, roasted garlic cloves, and vegan butter. Use a potato masher or fork to mash.

For very smooth potatoes, add the mixture to a blender or food processor.

Finally, serve these vegan mashed potatoes! Top with fresh thyme if desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Starchy Water is Your Secret Weapon 💧
Reserve 1 cup of potato cooking water before draining—use it gradually when mashing to achieve creaminess without over-mixing, which creates gluey potatoes.
Warm Your Vegan Butter First 🧈
Heat your vegan butter with the reserved potato water before adding it to the hot potatoes—this ensures it emulsifies properly and creates a luxuriously creamy texture.
Infuse Thyme Into the Cooking Water 🌿
Add fresh thyme sprigs directly to the boiling water while cooking potatoes so the flavor infuses throughout rather than just sitting on top.
Use a Ricer or Food Mill for Fluffiness ✨
Pass cooked potatoes through a ricer or food mill instead of using a masher or mixer—this creates naturally fluffy, cloud-like texture without activating excess starches.
Toast Your Garlic for Depth 🧄
Gently toast minced garlic in the warm vegan butter for 30 seconds before folding it in to develop complex, sweet notes that elevate the dish beyond basic garlic flavor.
