Most people think mashed potatoes are for special occasions and holidays but I’m here to tell you that not only are they wrong but this nutritious and delicious side should be enjoyed any day of the week!
Do you peel your potatoes before boiling them? I’m torn on the idea. On one side I grew up with my mother peeling them but I much prefer the method of keeping the skins on. You do lose lots of nutritious goodness when you do peel the potatoes (more on this in the nutrition section below). So it’s up to you how you want to start this recipe.
I chose to keep the skins on for this recipe as I wanted the extra nutrition but you can easily remove them and it won’t really change anything but take you longer to prep and make the consistency smoother.
How to Make Mashed Potatoes With No Milk
You don’t need milk to make mashed potatoes! You just need 20 minutes, a potato masher and a little bit of elbow grease (not to be confused with actual grease).
*optional* Start by peeling potatoes if you don’t want skins.
Cut your potatoes lengthwise and then into approximately one inch cubes.
Add potatoes to a large pot of cold water
Turn the stovetop to high and boil the potatoes until tender. You should be able to stab a fork through them with ease, about 10 to 15 min depending on how large you cut the cubes.
Drain the water from the pot. Keep the potatoes in the pot but remove them from heat.
Begin to mash the potatoes together. Once they start to blend together add the rest of the ingredients, – dairy-free butter, soy milk, salt, – except green onions, and continue mashing to desired consistency. At this point you may want to use a hand blender to. It will give the potatoes a much smoother and more whipped consistency than just using a hand masher.
Top with green onions and gravy.

Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:
Sturdy Potato Masher for Smooth Mashed Potatoes – Not all potato masher are created equally and this isn’t just your basic spiralled masher. The construction on this one makes it easier to grip and mash as well it’s designed to give your mashed potatoes a smoother consistency!
Aesthetically pleasing teal spoon set – a lot of people recently have been asking about my spoon set and I feel like a fraud because everyone thinks it’s some expensive set but it’s super inexpensive and they look amazing!
Super cheap but quality non-stick pan – A good non-stick pan will change your life and it doesn’t have to break the bank. I love this one because it’s made out of granite and is super durable!

Pups Notes
Using a hand blender can make your life significantly easier when mashing the potatoes but will give them a more smooth and whipped texture.
Adding more butter will make the potatoes creamier while adding more soy milk will make them less dry, play around with the ratio to get your desired consistency!
