Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
These Vegan Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes are a garlic lovers dream. Perfectly creamy and the best side dish for every savory dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 head garlic
- olive oil
- 3 lbs russet potatoes peeled and chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 4 oz vegan cream cheese
- 1/3 cup non-dairy milk unsweetened
- 1 tsp 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.
