Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 4 Hearty Potatoes (the non-waxy kind)
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Cup Fresh herbs (chives or parsley are the best)
  • ¼ Teaspoon dried herbs each (mixed herbs)
  • 3 Tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
  • Pinch of White pepper
  • 1 Cup vegan chicken or vegetable stock and warmed water
  • 1 Cup vegan cream or soya / oat / rice milk
  • 1 Cup water as needed
Instructions
  1. Peel and cut 4 potatoes in 5cm chunks, placing in water as you go to prevent the discolouration from exposure to air .
  2. Cook your potatoes by either boiling them in salted water on the stove for 15 - 20 minutes (reserving the cooking water), or by covering them in the microwave for 8 - 15 minutes. If you use the microwave the container must be completely covered with a lid or another container. If not, your potatoes risk developing a waxy skin. (Make sure there is a gap for steam to escape, of course.)
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of olive, 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, a cup of warm vegan chicken or veggie stock and ¼ teaspoon of dried mixed herbs, some white pepper, and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to your potatoes. If you'd like, you can add ½ cup of warmed plant-based milk (avoid almond, as the taste is not suitable) or vegan cream.
  4. Mash with a masher until smooth. If the mixture is too dry, additional liquid ½ a cup at a time. You can use the potato boiling water, or regular water, warmed to room temperature.
  5. When you're ready to serve, drizzle with an optional  final sneaky lashing of olive oil, and enjoy!
