Method
Boil the Potatoes
- Place the chopped potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
Drain and Return to Pot
- Drain the potatoes using a colander and return them to the pot. This allows any excess moisture to evaporate, ensuring a creamier mash.
Add Flavorings
- Add the coconut cream, vegan parmesan (if using), garlic salt, and black pepper to the potatoes.
Mash to Desired Consistency
- Using a potato masher or hand mixer, mash the potatoes until they reach your preferred texture. For a chunkier, rustic feel, mash by hand; for a smoother consistency, use a mixer. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can make the potatoes gluey.
Garnish and Serve
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates or into a serving bowl. Top with a pat of plant-based butter and garnish with fresh parsley or microgreens, if desired.
Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use Yukon Gold potatoes, as they have a naturally buttery taste and creamy consistency. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother mash.
