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.

How To Make This Recipe

Slice the top off of a head of garlic. Place garlic in a piece of tinfoil. Drizzle olive oil on top and bake until tender. Squeeze cloves out.
Chop potatoes into large chunks. Place in a pan with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes or until tender. Drain water.
In that same pan, add roasted garlic cloves, vegan butter, almond milk, and salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until mashed to desired consistency.

Tips

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.
