Vegan Garlic Mashed Potatoes Food

VEGAN GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean potatoes and peel if desired. Cut potatoes into 1/2" rounds and place in a large pot or your 6 qt instant pot.
• Add enough water to cover, which was about 5 cups in my IP.
• Add 1 tsp salt and garlic cloves.
• If using IP: attach the lid and using the STEAM setting - cook for 12 minutes. Use the QR method to remove the pressure.
• If using STOVETOP: bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook until soft, about 20-25 minutes.
• Carefully drain the water, reserving about 1/2 cup for later
• Add almond milk and mash until smooth and creamy
• Season with salt & pepper.
• If the potatoes seem too dry, add a little bit of the reserved potato water until you reach your desired consistency
• Stir in miso and mix well. Whip with an electric mixer if desired and serve with your favorite gravy.
• A sprinkling of paprika or chopped chives makes a nice garnish.

THE BEST (AND EASIEST) VEGAN GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 10 - 15 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the water off of the potatoes.
• In the meantime, in a medium saucepan combine coconut milk, plant-based milk, and garlic. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes until fragrant and the garlic is cooked.
• Pour about half of the garlic milk over the potatoes and use a potato masher to mash the potatoes. Add more of the garlic milk until you reach the consistency you like. (I usually use all of the garlic milk mixture). If you use all of the garlic and milk mixture and you would still like the potatoes softer, just add more coconut milk or plant-based milk until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.

VEGAN ROASTED-GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the garlic on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the oil, wrap and roast until very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover by 1 inch with cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 20 minutes. Strain and return the potatoes to the saucepan.
• Add the roasted garlic with any juice that has collected, almond milk, remaining 2 teaspoons of oil and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt to the potatoes. Mash with a potato masher until smooth or to the desired consistency, adding additional almond milk if necessary. Stir in the chives and add salt to taste. Transfer the potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with additional chives and serve.

VEGAN ENCHILADAS STUFFED WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add chiles and cook, turning constantly with tongs, until slightly darkened in color and fragrant, about 3 minutes. (Be careful not to burn chiles or they'll become bitter.) Transfer chiles to a medium bowl, leaving oil behind in skillet; reserve skillet. Pour 3 cups hot water (6 cups if doubling base recipe) over chiles and weigh down chiles with a smaller bowl to keep submerged. Let soak until softened, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook onion, garlic, and salt in reserved skillet, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly softened, 12-15 minutes. Add oregano and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer onion mixture to a blender.
• Add chiles and 1 cup chile soaking liquid to blender and purée, adding more soaking liquid if needed, until smooth. (If you don't have a high-powered blender, you may want to pass purée through a fine-mesh sieve.) You should have 2½ cups chile base. If you have less, add more chile soaking liquid and blend again to combine. Do ahead: Chile base can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Purée chile base, canned tomatoes, and broth in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and season with salt and pepper. Partially cover (to avoid splattering) and bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until enchilada sauce thickens slightly and flavors meld, 18-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice ½" from top of garlic, exposing cloves. Set on a square of foil and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Wrap up foil to encase garlic and bake until very tender, 50-60 minutes. Unwrap, let cool slightly, then squeeze out cloves into a medium bowl.
• Place potatoes in a medium pot and pour in cold water to cover by 2"; season generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, 20-25 minutes. Drain potatoes and let cool slightly, then peel. Transfer to bowl with garlic and add nutritional yeast, mushroom powder (if using), cumin, 1 cup almond milk, and remaining ¼ cup oil; season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or fork, adding up to ¼ cup more almond milk if needed, until smooth and creamy. Set potato filling aside.
• Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce in a 13x9" baking dish. Warm tortillas on a dry comal or an oiled griddle until pliable, about 30 seconds per side and set aside. Spoon ¼ cup enchilada sauce into a shallow dish. Dredge a tortilla in sauce on both sides to coat. Fill with ⅓ cup reserved potato filling and roll up tightly. Place enchilada, seam side down, in baking dish. Repeat process with remaining tortillas, using more sauce as needed and packing enchiladas tightly into baking dish. Spoon more sauce over, reserving some for serving. Cover enchiladas with foil and bake until warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
• Uncover and top with white onion, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and cilantro. Serve with remaining enchilada sauce alongside. Do ahead: Enchilada sauce can be made 5 days ahead. Let cool; transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 3 months. Reheat before using.
