Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato chunks and boil them for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the minced garlic and vegetable broth. Simmer the mixture on low heat for about 5 minutes to infuse the broth with garlic flavor.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are done, drain them thoroughly and return them to the pot. Let them sit for a couple of minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork. Gradually add the garlic-infused broth and continue mashing until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the unsweetened almond milk a little at a time, adjusting the amount until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Season the smashed potatoes with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
