What non-dairy milk is best for mashed potatoes?

The best non-dairy milk for mashed potatoes depends on the flavor and creaminess you prefer. Almond milk or oat milk keeps things light, while coconut or cashew milk adds a richer, creamier texture. Just be sure to use unsweetened versions for a savory dish!

What are plant-based mashed potatoes made of?

Plant-based mashed potatoes are typically made with potatoes, vegan butter or oil, and a splash of non-dairy milk for creaminess. Some recipes also include roasted garlic, nutritional yeast, or fresh herbs to enhance the flavor.

How do you make potatoes crispy without frying?
