When I found out my son couldn’t have dairy, I figured we’d never have mashed potatoes ever again. Thank goodness I was wrong!
While I’m not a huge potato fan, you sometimes need mashed potatoes in your life. It’s just inseperable from certain main dishes. You just need that creamy side to sop up gravy, or your favorite pan sauce.
Mashed potatoes bring me back to my childhood to Sunday dinners. They’re warm and comforting. Add in some extra flavor from chicken boullion, garlic and parsley and they’re fabulous!
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I thought I’d better share our favorite way to make dairy-free mashed potatoes. My sister, who has no allergies, says she prefers my mashed potatoes to hers. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too!
Dairy-Free Garlic Parsley Mashed Potatoes (Top 8 Free, Vegan too!)
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Potatoes just the way you remember them, but without the traditional ingredients.
Serves: 5
Ingredients
- 5 large potatoes (I typically find you want one potato per person)
- Water
- 1 Tablespoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons plain rice milk
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon chicken boullion (make sure it's a safe brand!)*
Instructions
- Wash and peel potatoes (I like to keep a little skin on for ease and for a more rustic looking dish). Cube and place in stock pot. Cover with water and add the salt. Bring to boil, and boil until fork tender. Typically 15ish minutes.
- Drain the potatoes, reserving 1 Tablespoon of the awesome starchy-leftover-water. Pour into a bowel. Add in the rest of the ingredients, and blend until smooth. A stand mixer or hand mixer will both work well. Add in the rice milk 1 Tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Notes
*If you need the dish to be vegan, be sure to swap out the chicken boullion for a vegetable one.
