How to make vegan mashed potatoes from scratch

If you’ve made mashed potatoes before adopting a vegan lifestyle, you may be wondering if milk is necessary to make mashed potatoes. You can certainly omit milk altogether if you’d like but it does help make mashed potatoes creamy. But what can you use instead of milk in mashed potatoes?

I find that unsweetened and unflavored non-dairy milk and yogurt is a good substitute for regular milk when making mashed potatoes.

Steps to make Classic Vegan Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 lbs Russet or Yukon potatoes
  • 2-4 tbsp non-dairy milk, unsweetened and unflavored (can sub for non-dairy creamer or yogurt)
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 tbsp vegan butter

Peel potatoes and bring them to boil. Simmer for 30-45 minutes until fully cooked. Add non-dairy milk, salt, and pepper and mash.

Rosemary Lemon

1 tsp nutritional yeast

2 tsp rosemary

1 tsp Italian spice

1/2 tsp salt

Grated zest of 1 lemon
