For the olive oil mashed potatoes

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 15 minutes.

Drain, reserving about 1 cup of the potato water, then return potatoes to pot. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or ricer.

Add olive oil, ½ cup of the reserved water, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, adding more reserved water, if needed to thin out mashed potatoes.

Taste and adjust seasoning, then transfer to a serving bowl.

For the vegan gravy

Heat olive oil in a small saucepan then whisk in flour. Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.

Whisk in soy sauce, followed by veggie broth, and dairy-free milk.

Make sure everything is well incorporated then let cook until gravy thickens. If too thick for your liking, add liquid one tablespoon at a time.
