Notes
For a potato puree: Press the mash through a sieve.
Use warm vegan milk: This will keep the vegan garlic mashed potatoes warmer for longer when serving. Alternatively, leave the vegan milk out on the counter while the potatoes cook to bring it to room temperature, at least.
If you peel the potatoes: There’s no need to discard the leftover peel. Instead, either save it in a bag in the freezer to make homemade vegetable stock or even season and bake it into crispy potato peel chips.
