My mother used to make mashed potatoes using some potato powder, milk and butter and it was really common here in my country. As this is a super easy to make recipe, it’s better to make it at home and it’s totally worth it because tastes much better, is cheaper and a super healthy side dish.
This is not a popular recipe in Spain during the holidays, but I don’t know why because is the perfect side and so simple. I’m going to make it this year and I’m sure everybody will enjoy it.
To make vegan mashed potatoes are really simple and oh my god, they’re so creamy and tasty! I’ve just made a simple version using extra virgin olive oil and some soy milk. Sometimes I also add some onion or garlic powder and nutritional yeast to get a cheesy an intense flavor.
Tips:
- Feel free to use any kind of potatoes you like and also other ingredients like spices, herbs or veggies.
- You can use some vegetable broth or water instead of the milk.
- To make an oil-free version of this recipe, use tahini or some nut butter instead of the oil or add some liquid like milk, water or broth.
- We used soy milk, but any unsweetened plant milk is fine.

Hi Amanda! Thanks a lot 🙂
Really enjoyed this. Only issue was that we found that boiling the potatoes might be better for this recipe.

I haven’t visited your blog for a while. Your wonderful recipes helped me begin my gluten and dairy free journey when you were still Minimal Eats. I went off the diet for a while, but I am starting up again, and had to come back to you.
I have spent some time tonight looking for some of my old favorites and noting some new ones as well.
Thanks for still beig here and sharing your inspirational stories and recipes with the world.
Hi Amy! Thanks a lot for your kind words, you made my day 🙂 Have a beautiful day!
