Vegan Slow Cooker Mashed Potatoes With Garlic Chives Recipes

SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Toss together the potatoes, melted butter, salt and a generous amount of black pepper in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on high until the potatoes are very tender, stirring once or twice if possible to encourage even cooking, about 4 hours.
• Add the sour cream and remaining 3 tablespoons butter and mash the potatoes with a masher until they are smooth and creamy. Just before serving, fold in the chives and season again with black pepper. Taste and add more salt only if necessary.

VEGAN ROASTED-GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, wrap and roast until very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Strain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
• Add the roasted garlic with any juice that has collected, almond milk, remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth or to the desired consistency, adding additional almond milk if necessary. Stir in the chives and add salt to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with additional chives and serve.

VEGAN SLOW COOKER MASHED POTATOES WITH GARLIC & CHIVES

Steps:

• Place garlic at the bottom of the slow cooker. Add potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the salt. Pout the vegetable broth over the top.
• Cook on high 3 - 4 hours or low 8 hours, until the potatoes and garlic are tender.
• Mash the potatoes! You can either use a potato masher or a hand mixer. I don't recommend a food processor or stand mixer because they can overmix the potatoes and give them a starchy consistency. Mash the potatoes a bit, then pour in 1/3 cup of the almond milk. Continue mashing/mixing, adding additional almond milk until the potatoes are your desired consistency. Mix in the chives.
• Taste and add additional salt and some pepper, if desired, to taste.
• Scoop into a bowl and top with more fresh snipped chives and a pat of vegan buttery spread, if desired.

CHIVE AND GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the cut potatoes into a large pot, cover them with cold water, and add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, in a small pot heat the cream, butter, garlic, and thyme. While the potatoes are still warm, press them through a potato ricer or food mill into a bowl. Stir in the warm cream a bit at a time, straining out the solids, until the potatoes are fluffy. Season with salt and pepper and gently fold in the chives. Serve immediately.

THE BEST DAMN VEGAN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• For creamier mashed potatoes, peel your potatoes at this time. Otherwise, just halve your potatoes and place in a large saucepan or pot and cover with water by ~1 inch.
• Bring to a light boil over high heat and add 1 tsp of sea salt (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), and cook for 25-30 minutes or until very tender. They should effortlessly slide off a knife when pierced with a knife.
• While the potatoes are cooking, chop up your chives (optional) and measure your vegan butter.
• Once tender, drain your potatoes and place them back in the hot pot off the heat for 1 minute to evaporate any additional water.
• Mash your potatoes using a potato masher until fluffy.
• Add in vegan butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper and stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Lastly top with chives (optional, stir and serve as is or with your favorite gravy (or mushroom gravy). Leftovers will keep in the fridge covered for up to a few days. Not freezer friendly.
