Description

Made with vegan Cheddar cheese and olive oil instead of butter, these dairy-free mashed potatoes have perfect texture and a delicious garlic flavor.

Ingredients

3 medium potatoes, scrubbed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 slice vegan Cheddar cheese (such as Daiya®)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste

Directions

1 Poke vent holes in the potatoes. Microwave on high for 13 minutes.
2 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.
3 Let potatoes cool slightly. Halve them and scoop the flesh out into the pot. Discard skins.
4 Mash potatoes and cheese sauce together until fully incorporated.
