Ingredients
  • 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 to 2 inch pieces
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 5 tablespoons vegan butter
  • ½ cup unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy or cashew), or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Place the potatoes into a colander and rinse them with cold water for about 30 seconds.

  2. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water.

  3. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil. Lower the heat and allow the potatoes to boil until easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Don't overcook the potatoes.

  4. While the potatoes cook, combine the coconut milk and butter in a small container. Warm it up in the microwave (or alternatively in a small pot on the stove), just until the butter melts.

  5. Place the other non-dairy milk in a separate container and heat it until warm to the touch.

  6. Once the potatoes are done boiling, drain them into a colander and rinse them with warm water for about 30 seconds.

  7. Return the potatoes to the pot.

  8. Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes just until fully broken up.

  9. Pour in the coconut milk mixture and continue mashing. Slowly begin adding the other non-dairy milk, adding just as much as needed for the potatoes to reach your desired consistency.

  10. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
