super easy one-pot mashed potatoes
If you love mashed potatoes but find them too time-consuming and finicky, this recipe is for you! These Super Easy One-Pot Mashed Potatoes require basically no work and minimal dirty dishes.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes I find that Yukon gold potatoes work best, but I have used Russet too
- 2 cups of nondairy milk more or less as needed
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2-3 tablespoon vegan butter to taste
Instructions
- First, wash and scrub your potatoes well. Peel if desired. Cut into small cubes, and add to a large pot.
- Add enough milk to cover the potatoes, add in the salt, and turn heat onto high. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cover.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes start to become very soft and fall apart (about 25-30 minutes).
- Stir vigorously to help the mashed potatoes come together, and add in the seasonings and the butter. You may need to add a bit more milk at this point if it is too thick.
- For a smoother texture, you can use a potato masher instead of just the spoon. Serve immediately!
