Vegan Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic

These foolproof Vegan Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic are smooth and creamy. Roasted garlic adds a mellow garlic flavor. 

Of all the foods served on Thanksgiving, 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 Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic are best when made with a potato masher. If you have a ricer, that would work also.

Tips For Making Vegan Mashed Potatoes with Roasted Garlic

• Place chopped potatoes in cold water so that they cook evenly.
• Use a potato masher or ricer for the best consistency.
• 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 small amount of almond milk at a time until you get the consistency you want.
