    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.

    This is the greatest work we will ever do. And d This is the greatest work we will ever do. 

And definitely my dream come true to be home with her all day. Never missing her much needed cuddle moments. I need her just as much as she needs me. Nothing else matters, really. I don’t need to be a girl boss or CEO of a company that separates us all day. I’m a mommy first and I sell shampoo, second. It’s actually the best of both worlds because I get to raise her and also have an income of my own.

If you’ve been yearning for something like this, there’s no better time. The holidays are coming!!!

    Are you chasing the new shiny object? There will Are you chasing the new shiny object?

There will always be some new trend or way to make money online. But are they sustainable? Or just a way to make a quick buck? One thing we all have in common is we all want to build a long-term sustainable business to make an income from home! We all sell shampoo, we all want different things for our families and we all took a leap of faith in starting our beauty businesses. And we all started somewhere. Instead of chasing the newest ways to make money, it’s so much more authentic to share something you love and use daily 👄🧴🫧🧖‍♀️

You guys. This is a dream come true. Getting better hair (completely frizz free 🙂) and making an income. I love what I do and the best part is it’s all from my phone and with my baby by my side. No daycare or nanny, it’s all from my phone. Now you do have to put in time and work for it to work, but it’s such a blessing. I’m so grateful every single day.

If you love beauty products and have a go-getter attitude, we need to talk!! I want to teach you how to do this.
