Give me thick, velvety, creamy mashed potatoes any day of the WEEK! This plant-based mashed potato recipe is a simple, savoury indulgence that is pretty much guilt-free. I’m talking all the good fats that lashings of extra-virgin olive oil have to offer, alongside handfuls of freshly chopped herbs – and, of course, loads of vegan-vitality. YES!

The Ultimate Herbed Vegan Mashed Potatoes.

Decadent Vegan Mashed Potatoes:

For this healthful helping, we upgrade all the traditional mashed potato ingredients for high-quality plant-based alternatives:

  • Hearty Potatoes (the non-waxy kind)
  • Luscious Olive Oil
  • Fresh herbs (chives or parsley are the best)
  • Dried herbs (mixed herbs)
  • Savoury Nutritional Yeast
  • White pepper
  • Vegan chicken or vegetable stock and warmed water
  • Optional vegan cream or soya / oat / rice milk. I often omit this and the results are still delish!

PORTION SIZES: While most would suggest one potato per person as a reasonable portion, honestly I like to eat at least three potatoes myself. 🙂 Double this recipe as needed for your family!

How to Make Savoury Vegan Mashed Potatoes:

  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 1/4 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 1/2 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 1/2 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!
