The Best Garlic Mashed Potatoes
The perfect combination of savory, buttery, garlicky, cheezy and comfort. These vegan garlic mashed potatoes have a very thick, yet fluffy texture. The flavor is also unreal, and you will definitely want a generous portion! This is the side dish you’ll want to make for thanksgiving or special dinners to impress all of your non-vegan guests!
I still remember the very first time I made these mashed potatoes. Anthony, and I just could not stop eating them! We ate the entire batch in one night and had zero regrets. I hope that you love them as much as we do! Make it as side for a fancy dinner or add them to a quick lunch. I love adding them to chickpeas, broccolini and portobello mushrooms just like below:
Tips and Substitutes:
- I recommend trying to use Yukon Gold Potatoes but I have also used red potatoes and kennebec.
- I prefer Miykos butter but Earth balance is also a great option. If you don’t like butter olive oil also work well if you prefer the olive oil taste.
- I strongly believe fresh garlic is a must for this recipe but you can also use garlic powder if you are out.
- Fresh rosemary is my favorite herb for this dish but you can also use dried basil, oregano, parsley or thyme if you’re a fan!
Serving:
- These mashed potatoes are perfect for pairing with vegan meats such as the Gardein Holiday Roast.
- It also pairs well with vegan sausages, portabella mushrooms and chickpeas.

Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Miyoko’s or Earth Balance vegan butter
- 1/2-3/4 cup Plant-Based Milk (I used almond)
- 1 Tbsp Garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Tsp Fresh Rosemary, minced
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Dice potatoes into 2-3 inch pieces a faster cooking time.
- Set a medium pot of water to boil. Once boiling set to a low/medium simmer and add potatoes. Cook for 12-20 minutes depending on size.
- Poke with a fork to check softness. Once done drain, let cool off and peel potatoes if you’d like. Mash well.
- In the same pot add vegan butter and garlic to medium heat. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until garlic is golden.
- Add plant-based milk and nutritional yeast, mix well with butter and garlic. I recommend adding 1/2 cup milk to begin and then add more after potatoes have been added to achieve desired texture.
- Add salt and fresh rosemary. Mix well and taste. Adjust salt, nutritional yeast, and milk if needed.
- Serve with homemade vegan gravy or pair with your favorite vegan meats/chickpeas and more!
