A creamy, fluffy dairy-free mashed potatoes recipe using Yukon Gold potatoes, olive oil, and plant-based milk. Perfect for those avoiding dairy but craving classic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk, warmed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes into roughly 1.5 inch chunks.
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Drain the potatoes well, then return to the pot over low heat for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
  5. Warm ½ cup unsweetened almond milk gently in a small saucepan or microwave until just warm (not boiling).
  6. Mash the potatoes using a potato ricer or masher until mostly smooth.
  7. Stir in 3 tablespoons olive oil and 2 minced garlic cloves (if using).
  8. Slowly pour in the warm almond milk while stirring gently until desired creamy consistency is reached.
  9. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Fold in chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and fluffy.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for best creamy texture. Warm the plant-based milk before adding to avoid lumps. Avoid overmixing to prevent gluey texture. Steam drying potatoes after draining helps achieve fluffiness. Garlic is optional and can be roasted for a sweeter flavor. Substitute olive oil with avocado oil or vegan butter for variation.
