Recipe: Vegan mash

If you love mashed potatoes but can’t or won’t eat dairy, this vegan mash recipe is for you. Even if you’re partial to traditional mash, you should give this version a go.

People wanting to veganise the classic potato mash, which often contains butter, cream and/or milk, will use margarine and non-dairy milk instead. However, there is a better (read: healthier and tastier) way of doing it! A good vegetable stock (homemade or otherwise) and extra virgin olive oil add a ton of flavour and a silky texture to the mash.

I used Dutch cream potatoes but you can use your favourite potatoes for this recipe. If you’re looking for options with lower glycemic index (GI), check out GiLICIOUS or Spud Lite.
