Of all the foods served for Thanksgiving dinner, I think vegan mashed potatoes are my favorite. Here, I've made the creamy comfort classic with roasted garlic and chives.
Unsweetened almond milk and vegan buttery spread, aka Earth Balance, add a creamy texture to the already creamy Yukon Gold potatoes.
These Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Almond Milk are best when made with a potato masher. If you have a potato ricer, that would work also.

❤️ Why You'll Love Them
- They are creamy and flavorful, making them the perfect side dish for your weeknight dinners or the holiday season.
- Roasted garlic takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness.
- They are an easy recipe with simple ingredients.
🧾 Ingredients
- Potatoes: I used Yukon Gold potatoes because I love the texture and flavor. You could also use Russet potatoes or Idaho potatoes. The type of potato you use matters! Starchy potatoes work best because they add a creamy consistency.
- Raw garlic: Adds a pungent flavor. It takes a little extra time to roast it, but it is so worth it!
- Extra virgin olive oil: To cook the head of garlic. Adds flavor.
- Vegan butter: Adds a buttery flavor. I used Earth Balance, but you could use your favorite plant-based butter.
- Almond milk: I used unsweetened plain almond milk. Oat milk, soy milk, or other dairy-free milk would work as well. Make sure to get plain unsweetened.
- Salt and black pepper: Enhances flavor and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
- Fresh chives (optional): Add a mild onion flavor. For topping. You could use other fresh herbs.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Slice the top off of a head of garlic. Place garlic in a piece of tin foil.
Step 2: Drizzle olive oil on top and bake until tender.
Step 3: After the cloves of garlic have cooled to room temperature, squeeze the cloves out.
Step 4: Place chopped potatoes in a saucepan with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender. Drain potato water.

💭 Tips
- Place chopped potatoes in cold water so that they cook evenly.
- Use a potato masher or ricer for the best consistency.
- I like to leave the potato skins on, but you could also peel the potatoes.
- Roast a whole head of garlic, but start with less to see how you like it. You can always spread the extra garlic on a baguette or mix it with vegan mayo for a sandwich.
- If you like creamier potatoes, add a splash of almond milk at a time until you get the desired texture you want.
- Use the leftover mashed potatoes in my Vegan Mashed Potato Pancakes recipe to create a whole new dish.
