Our Mashed Potatoes really are special but you COULD have them whenever you want! They just don’t taste like everyday potatoes. It’s definitely a more magical thing.
Mashed Potatoes, with a depth of flavor!
Not gonna lie! These mashed potatoes aren’t for the calorie counters. I don’t know the exact calorie count but with the rich addition of ingredients, they aren’t a lightweight version.
However, sometimes, it’s worth the splurge! And I think these are definitely worth a splurge, for those meaningful moments in our lives!
Holiday worthy!
They certainly belong on your holiday table! Also good to take to a potluck to share with family and friends! And of course, when loved ones come home for a visit. (Hint, hint, my loved ones! Isn’t it time to come home for a visit?!)
The versatile vegetable
We love potatoes in so many different ways. Whether baked, twice baked, fried, boiled, scalloped, au gratin or even just microwaved, we incorporate potatoes into our meals every week.
And why not?! Potatoes have a lot of redeeming features! A good source of potassium, B6, and Vitamin C, while also gluten-free! These are just some of the reasons to include potatoes in your meal plans.
And the variety!
And there are so many types of potatoes, too! They all work a little differently. Russets are best for baked potatoes, Golden are great for mashed potatoes and I prefer red for potato salad and home-fried recipes. Those purply blue potatoes are great in chip form, too. Or mix them up and add a variety of colors to your potato salads and fried potato dishes!
Other Special Occasion Potatoes!
And if you’re looking for another extra special mashed potato recipe, make our Celestial Celeriac Mashed Potatoes when you come across a nice celeriac aka celery root!
Cheers to meaningful moments and mashed potatoes!
So, we’re hoping you try our Mashed Potatoes and we hope you have many meaningful moments throughout your day! Enjoy!
P.S. Marvelous Mushroom Gravy is a fantastic mashed potato topper!

Ingredients
- 5 pounds golden or russet potatoes peeled and quartered
- 1 cup soymilk slightly warmed in the microwave
- 3/4 cup vegan mayo
- 1/3 cup vegan sour cream
- 1/4 cup vegan butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place quartered potatoes in a large pot and add water to just barely cover the potatoes.
- Add garlic and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt to boiling water.
- When potatoes are easily piercable with a fork, but not falling apart, drain in a colander with garlic.
- Add potatoes and garlic back to the pot but don't turn on the burner. Shake a bit to dry out the potatoes briefly. Mash.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot with potatoes, turn the burner to the lowest temp and briskly stir all together. If more creaminess is desired, add a bit more soymilk. Remove from heat and serve while still warm.
