Dairy Free Almond Milk Mashed Potatoes
My creamy, dairy free mashed potatoes are truly next-level! Made with almond milk, this recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. Incredibly rich and full of flavor, you'd never guess they’re vegan. Best of all, they’re easy to make, which is a lifesaver during the busy holiday season, and they pair perfectly with classic main dishes, making them the ultimate comfort food to enjoy any time of year.

Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes see note
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 ½ cups white beans about one 15 ounce can (drained and rinsed)
- 1 ½ cups vegan parmesan cheese
- 1 cup almond milk can sub another plant based milk if you prefer
- ground black pepper optional for garnish
- rosemary sprig optional for garnish
- Serve with Caramelized Onion Gravy
Instructions
- Cut potatoes into big pieces, rinse to remove some of the starch.
- Put them with the salt in a pot and cover with water. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, put white beans, cheese, and milk in a blender and puree until nice and smooth.
- When the potatoes are done, rinse them one more time. Allow them to dry a bit then put them in a bowl with the creamy sauce.
- Use a potato masher, hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the potatoes and the creamy sauce into a nice fluffy mound. Do not over mix or they will become gluey.
- Serve with caramelized onion gravy and optional pepper and rosemary sprig.
Notes
- You can use any potato, Russet are the fluffiest but Yukon gold are my favorite flavor for these because they are so buttery in taste.
- I recommend that you give the potatoes time to dry before mashing. We do not want any extra moisture in this recipe.
- For more chunks in the potatoes, use a handheld masher. For smooth potatoes, I like to use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
- You can sub with another plant based milk but make sure it is creamy. Coconut cream, cashew milk, coconut milk, soy milk, broth, or even cooking water from the potatoes can all work to give a nice, smooth texture.
- The portions are for a side dish size.
