Thanksgiving 2013: Mashed Potatoes


Today’s post is going to be one of my favorite dishes, not only for Thanksgiving, but also for just general southern comfort food.

I’m talking about mashed potatoes.

There are, of course, vegan mashed potatoes that come out of a box. In fact, the Idahoan Original Mashed Potatoes are a great example and you just have to substitute the milk and butter for soy milk and margarine

If I have the time though, I always prefer homemade mashed potatoes, made from actual potatoes. 



They are really simple to make, just follow these few steps below! (:

1. Peel your potatoes and slice them into small chunks. 

2. Simmer these chunks until they are soft enough to stab with a fork, this should take approximately 30 minutes, depending on the number of potatoes. 

3. Strain your potatoes and place them in a bowl with a liberal amount of butter. 

4. Using a potato masher, mush the potatoes until they reach the desired consistency. I personally like my potatoes to have some chunks in them.

5. Add some soy milk and stir together until they are a creamy consistency. 


 Who doesn't love mashed potatoes and peas?!? 

Enjoy!
