- You know you got a good thing going on when your non-vegan friends are licking their plates clean and asking for seconds.
- In all honesty you can totally go oil-free! Keep it WFPB if you wanna!
- The avocado really adds so much silky creaminess here, but since it’s the holidays I wanted to indulge a bit in that smooth olive or avocado oil flavor. Serve with vegan chicken or plant-based shiitake mushroom gravy on the side If you want and don’t hold back from making this all year round. Seriously, this does not have to be just a Thanksgiving and Christmas side dish.

Instructions
- Scrub and rinse the potatoes well, then cut them into 1 inch cubes. Add them to a large pot and cover with water by 2 inches.
- Add the bay leaf, thyme and garlic and bring to a simmer. Season with a big pinch of sea salt ( water should taste like sea water) and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until soft.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to dry in their own steam for a few minutes. Discard the herbs.
- Meanwhile cut the avocados, discard the pit and scoop the flesh out. Transfer it to a bowl with the scallions, cilantro , chili pepper and lime. Mix to combine and season to taste with sea salt and black pepper and more lime juice to your taste.
- Transfer the boiled potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Pour in the olive oil and mash until smooth and fluffy. Add the cashew milk or cream a little bit at a time and continue mashing until desired consistency is achieved.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast, taste and adjust seasoning with more sea salt and nutritional yeast to your liking.
- Spoon the guacamole on top and fold it into the mashed potatoes. Reserve a spoonful as a rustic garnish on top.
- Sprinkle with the chives and garnish with more cilantro and extra chili pepper if you like things spicy. Serve promptly!
Notes
- For Plantricious and whole food plant based diets make sure to omit the olive oil to be compliant.
