Creamy avocado, smooth extra virgin olive oil and cashew cream (cashew or hemp milk ) together with lots of garlic and herbs make these potatoes dreamy to say the least.

gourmet loaded mashed potatoes!

  • 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.
  • For all you potato lovers make sure to also try my warm potato salad, garlic rosemary roasted potatoes, scalloped potatoes, these divine potatoes and mushrooms + grandma’s rustic paprika potatoes. Carb heaven!

Ingredients

  • 2 lb yukon gold potatoes - cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 10 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1/2 bunch thyme
  • 2 leaves bay
  • 1 pinch sea salt + more to your taste
  • 1/3 cup cashew milk (or plain cashew cream, unsweetened)
  • 2-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil) (omit the oil on WFPB & Plantricious diets)
  • 1 tbsp vegan walnut parmesan (or nutritional yeast)

Guacamole

  • 2 avocados -large
  • 3 scallions -chopped
  • 1 pinch sea salt + more to taste
  • 1 lime or lemon -juiced
  • 1 red chili pepper - sliced (optional)
  • 1/3 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives - chopped ( for garnish)
US Customary - Metric

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.
