Instructions

  • Peel and cut your potatoes into even sized pieces. This ensures they cook evenly.
  • In a pot with water, add your potatoes together with a pinch of salt (about 1 tsp) and the garlic cloves. Turn on the heat to a medium. Bring to a boil.
  • Cook until done. To check, stab a potato with a fork and if it falls apart, it's ready.
  • Drain the water and put the potatoes (along with the garlic cloves) back in the pot with the heat on low. Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
  • Turn off heat and add the vegan butter and milk. Mix with a spatula until a smooth mashed potato forms.
  • Season with salt and pepper and garlic powder.
