Creamy mashed potatoes are a beloved staple in Irish cuisine, and they can easily be made vegan without sacrificing flavor or texture. This recipe uses plant-based ingredients to create a deliciously creamy and comforting dish. Here’s how to make Irish Vegan Mashed Potatoes.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds (900g) potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat)
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter (or olive oil)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks (about 1-2 inches). This helps them cook evenly.
- Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander. Allow them to sit for a minute to let any excess moisture evaporate.
- Return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add the vegan butter and minced garlic (if using). Begin mashing the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually stir in the plant-based milk until you reach your desired consistency. You can add more or less milk depending on how creamy you like your mashed potatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
These Irish Vegan Mashed Potatoes are perfect as a side dish for any meal, from a traditional Irish dinner to a cozy family gathering. They’re creamy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
