Garlic mashed potatoes

Difficulty: 1/5

Time: 1 hour

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 8 medium-sized peeled or unpeeled potatoes (around 1kg)
• 2/3 cup soy milk
• Salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

• Fill a medium-sized pot with water. Add about 2 tablespoons of salt and the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes have become very soft (think overcooked). Drain and set aside in the same pot.
• In the meantime, slowly heat up the soy milk on low heat. Do not bring to a boil. Turn off the heat once you see smoke coming out of the pot. Set aside.
• Mash the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher. Slowly add the warm soy milk to the potatoes until you reach the consistency that you want. Do not overwork the potatoes too much, as they will become gummy if you do it too much.
• Once the mashed potatoes are smooth, put in the garlic powder, the parsley, and the black pepper. Adjust salt to taste.

Serving:

Serve the mashed potatoes as a side to a roast or meatballs. Sprinkle extra dried parsley on top for added colour.
