Vegan Garlic Mashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Thinly slice 2 garlic cloves. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy small skillet over low heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Cook potatoes and remaining 8 garlic cloves in large saucepan of boiling salted water until potatoes are tender, about 35 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 1/4 cups cooking liquid. Combine boiled potatoes and garlic, sautéed garlic mixture and remaining 3 tablespoons oil in same saucepan. Mash until smooth, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to form creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer potatoes to bowl. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm potatoes in microwave until heated through.) Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Place potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
• Transfer boiled potatoes and garlic to a bowl; discard rosemary and thyme. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, adding cooking water to reach desired consistency.

Steps:

• Poke vent holes in the potatoes. Microwave on high for 13 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put olive oil, vegan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small pot over medium-low heat. Heat until cheese is fully melted and garlic is cooked.
• Let potatoes cool slightly. Halve them and scoop the flesh out into the pot. Discard skins.
• Mash potatoes and cheese sauce together until fully incorporated.
