Vegan Mashed Potato Recipe – Vegan Side Dish Recipe

Prep: 10 mins – Cook: 35 mins – Total: 45 mins

INGREDIENTS

• 1 garlic head (optional but recommended)*
• Olive oil for roasting garlic (optional but recommended)
• 2 ½ pounds (1.1kg) potatoes (I use half Russet and half Yukon Gold potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt** + more to taste
• 3/4 cup (180 mL) “lite” or reduced-fat coconut milk***
• 6 tablespoons vegan butter, softened at room temperature
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white miso paste (or mild / yellow miso), softened at room temperature
• Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh chives, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Roast the garlic (optional). Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Remove the outer layers of the garlic head and then slice off a thin layer off the top to expose the skin of the cloves. Rub the exposed cloves with a bit of olive oil. Wrap in parchment paper and then in foil to make a packet, and then place directly on an oven rack. Roast for 35-40 minutes until soft and tender and lightly golden. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves out of the skin into a small bowl and mash with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, take the vegan butter and miso paste out of the fridge to soften.
3. Start preparing the potatoes. Peel the potatoes and then rinse them in cold water. Chop the potatoes into fourths or eighths, dependent on size. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and add enough water to cover them. Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt (or 1/2 tablespoon sea salt) and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Simmer until the potatoes are very soft and yield no resistance when poked with a fork and almost start to fall apart, 20 to 25 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Return the potatoes back to the saucepan. Heat over low heat for a few minutes, tossing the potatoes around to prevent them from sticking. This removes any remaining moisture in the potatoes.
5. While the potatoes are cooking, place the softened butter in a small bowl and add the miso paste and the mashed roasted garlic (if using). Using a fork, cream them together until well combined.
6. Heat a small or medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the miso butter and stir to combine. Once it’s almost melted, pour in the lite coconut milk. Whisk often to combine and stir until everything is melted. Season with a bit of freshly cracked black pepper. Continue heating until the mixture is very warm but not bubbling.****
7. Grab a large bowl. If you are using a ricer, add the warm potatoes to the ricer and pass them through into a large bowl. If you are using a potato masher, mash the potatoes. Add the warm miso butter-coconut milk mixture. Fold gently with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon. wooden spoon). Be gentle and don’t overmix, especially if using Yukon Gold potatoes – it can make the potatoes watery.
8. Taste for seasonings, adding kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. I usually add a bit of salt, taste, add more salt, and repeat until they’re perfect.
9. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm. For extra indulgent mashed potatoes, drizzle a little melted vegan butter on top of the potatoes right before serving.

Potato Croquettes – Vegan Recipe

Prep: 30 mins – Cook: 40 mins – Total: 70 mins

Ingredients

Basic Potato Dough

• 9 floury potatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons unsweetened oat milk (or rice milk)
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Breading Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened oat milk (or rice milk)
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• frying oil

Directions

1. Peel and cut potatoes in half. Boil them in a large pot with water until soft. Drain and put them back in the pot. Mash them with a potato masher. Add the rest of the ingredients for the basic potato dough and mash everything together until creamy. Let the potato dough rest until cold enough to handle.
2. Let’s prepare the breading station. Fill the all-purpose flour in a bowl, the oat milk in a second bowl and the breadcrumbs and the salt in a third bowl.
3. Form croquettes with the potato dough. Roll them first in flour, then dip them in oat milk, and lastly coat in breadcrumbs. Make sure they are coated on all sides.
4. Heat the frying oil in a medium-sized to small pot (fill the oil about 2 inches high – the croquettes should be able to float in the oil but make sure you don’t fill too much oil into the pot to prevent hot oil spilling on the hot plate and everywhere). Once the oil is hot, fry the croquettes in batches until golden and crispy. Place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Enjoy!
