30 minute vegan mashed potatoes and gravy you don't want to miss this one
(upbeat music playing)
hey y'all welcome to Make It Dairy Free I'm Larisha and today we are talking about one of
the most iconic side dishes especially around the holidays we're gonna be showing you how to make
mashed potatoes and gravy this is one of the easiest recipes to veganize because you are
literally just swapping the butter and the milk for vegan butter and milk and then you are good
to go. So if you are new to being vegan or you are new to being dairy free then this is
a must make because easy and potatoes count me in you are going to be shocked at how easy this
is in fact you only need one large pot and one large bowl and you are good to go for not only
the mashed potatoes but the gravy too and i know that sometimes people think that gravy can be hard
but literally you can't mess this up you need about 10 minutes five ingredients and then you
have the most delicious gravy ever in fact it's like the most popular recipe on our site both the
mashed potatoes and the gravy can easily be top 8 allergen friendly without any sacrifices to
the taste or the texture so all those pesky people who swore they would never eat vegan
won't even notice so all right yall let's show you exactly how to do it
all right the first thing that we're going to do is grab our pre-washed potatoes and
start peeling them you could leave the skin on but we don't prefer mashed potatoes that way
zero waste tip though would be to fry the skin in some oil for a few minutes until
crispy then remove and sprinkle with salt for an easy zero waste potato chip idea
next cube up your potatoes try to get them roughly the same size for an even cooking time
cubing potatoes at this stage helps your potatoes cook faster add all of your cubed potatoes into a
large pot and add in vegetable stock we are using vegetable stock over water to not only infuse
flavor into the potatoes but also because we're going to use this to make our gravy bring to a
boil and continue to cook your potatoes stirring occasionally until they are easily pierced with
a fork using a slotted spoon remove your potatoes to a large bowl letting some of the stock drip off
but it's fine if some transfers once you have all your potatoes into the bowl you are going to add
in vegan butter divide this up into a few sections so it's not just all in one place then dairy-free
milk technically any plant-based milk will work but our recommendation is choosing a neutral very
creamy option like oat milk add in a very generous amount of salt black pepper and then it's time to
get mashing we're using a potato masher or you could also use a potato ricer to mash
our potatoes until they're creamy while a mixer would ensure less lumps it's easy to over mix
with a hand mixer which results in a gluey gummy texture to your mashed potatoes mashed potatoes
are a bit of a guess for exact measurement so you may need to add a dab more butter splash
more milk and likely you'll need more salt since potatoes need a lot to taste seasoned and voila
alright so that vegetable stock that we had our potatoes boiling in move that to a measuring cup
you should have roughly two cups of stock remaining if you don't add a bit more to
get to the two cups in the same pot add some vegan butter and let it melt
then add in some flour if you are gluten free you can do this with a one to one gluten-free flour
chickpea flour or almond flour whisk this together until you have a roux then you are going to add
back in that vegetable stock slowly and whisk continuously until well combined add in some salt
and pepper taste to add more if needed and then let it cook for just a few minutes to thicken up
remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes before placing it inside of a pourable container
you can easily double or triple either of these recipes if needed in the rare event that you have
leftovers you can use it to make a shepherd's pie that will also link in the description box below
