    The Creamiest Vegan Mashed Potatoes

    Nov 3, 2020 • Festive/Holidays, Sides

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Today is election day which means we truly need ALL the comfort food, no matter what the outcome is, you know?

    Welcome to Day 2 of Thanksgiving week on the blog!

    I’m sharing two recipes on this fine Tuesday. These Creamy Vegan Mashed Potatoes AND The Easiest Vegan Stovetop Gravy!! They make the perfect pair. Imagine smothering the these light and fluffy mashed potatoes with savory vegan gravy. I’m telling you, it is pure heaven and a must-try this winter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any cold day, really!

    There are so many ways to over-complicate Thanksgiving recipes and I do not understand why. As with my easy vegan gravy, these one-pot mashed potatoes are as simple as can be with minimal ingredients but bursting with flavor. The only recipe that’s a bit more work is my vegan lentil loaf but that is the main dish so it’s understandable.

    It’s important that my mashed potatoes are creamy and luscious, and not dry whatsoever! For this you’ll need a mix of red potatoes and yukon gold potatoes for that beautiful color and creamy texture. It’s really important to buy organic to avoid pesticides and GMO’s!

    I also used a mix of Miyoko’s vegan butter and Earth Balance vegan butter and I highly, highly recommend doing a mix of half and half. Next, I used light canned coconut milk which is so essential! Light canned coconut milk helps to provide that super creamy texture and I’m not sure how any other plant milk would work but you are welcome to try. Then all that’s left is salt and fresh parsley. See it’s simple but flavorful, my new motto.

    Lastly, because I’m lazy, I left the skins on per my husband’s request. Peeling 2 pounds of potato is a big task that I was not about to do, plus I enjoy the rustic texture and fiber from the potato skins! Feel free to peel them though if you prefer ultra-smooth mashed potatoes. Totally up to you!

    Description

    The Creamiest Vegan Mashed Potatoes. One pot, light and fluffy, simple and super flavorful vegan and gluten free mashed potatoes! Pair with my vegan gravy! #vegan #mashed #potatoes


    Ingredients

    Scale

    1 pound red potatoes, quartered

    1 pound yukon gold potatoes, quartered

    3/4 cup canned light coconut milk

    1/4 cup vegan butter (I used half Miyokos butter and half Earth Balance butter)

    1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

    1/2–1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste


    Instructions

    Add all potatoes to a large pot and fill with enough water to cover the potatoes, plus several inches. Generously salt the water. Bring to a boil. Boil until the potatoes are completely tender, about 15-20 minutes. Pierce with a fork to make sure they are super soft!

    Turn off heat. Drain the water. Mash the potatoes directly in the pot with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk and vegan butter and stir until well combined and super creamy! If you need more coconut milk, add another 1/4 cup. Next stir in the parsley and salt. Taste test and add more salt if needed.

    Serve warm with The Easiest Vegan Gravy and my Vegan Lentil Loaf (gluten free)!!

    Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
