    Potatoes are already a big part of a vegan diet, so you know they are the star of the show come the holidays! And why not make them extra tasty by adding loads of roasted garlic?!? Sounds like a plan to me.

    To make perfectly creamy mashed potatoes, you really don't need to do too much. Boil your potatoes until super tender, add lots of vegan butter, a little non-dairy milk and mash away.

    You could call it a day there, but today we are taking these to the next level by roasting a whole head of garlic (ummmm...yum) and mashing it up into heavenly garlicky paste and adding it to the potatoes.

    Course Side Dish
    Cuisine American
    Keyword thanksgiving
    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Cook Time 1 hour
    Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes
    Servings 6

    Ingredients

    • 1 head garlic
    • olive oil
    • 3 lbs russet potatoes peeled and chopped
    • ¼ cup vegan butter
    • 4 oz vegan cream cheese
    • ⅓ cup non-dairy milk unsweetened
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder plus more to taste
    • salt & pepper to taste
    • fresh parsley for serving

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the tip of the head of garlic off so the raw garlic is exposed. Drizzle garlic with olive oil and wrap in foil. Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 30 minutes.
    • Remove the garlic from the oven and carefully open the foil. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skin into a bowl. Using a fork, smash the garlic into a paste and set aside.
    • Place potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork tender (approx. 15-25 minutes). 
    • When the potatoes are done, drain them and place the empty pot back on the stove with the heat turned off. Place the drained potatoes in the pot along with the butter, cream cheese and milk. Using a hand masher, mash the potatoes until they are creamy and there are no more chunks. 
    • Add the roasted garlic, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
    • Serve with fresh parsley and vegan gravy.
