Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 196kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs potatoes scrubbed
- 2 medium sized parsnips peeled
- 2 medium purple turnips peeled
- 1 small celeriac peeled
- ½ small cauliflower 12 oz bag if using frozen
- 6 cloves garlic peeled
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- PREP Veggies: Scrub potatoes (no need to peel), peel parsnips, turnips and celeriac. Roughly chop all to approximately the same size.
- Put veggies and peeled cloves of garlic in pot and cover with water by 2 inches.
- Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat stock in small saucepan.
- Drain vegetables, reserving ¼ cup cooking liquid.
- Put cooked veggies back into pot and use a potato masher to evenly mash. I like to leave some chunks. If you like really smooth mashed potatoes, use an immersion blender.
- Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle S+P onto mashed potatoes, continuing to mash/blend. Use stock 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency. If potatoes still seem dry, use cooking liquid 1 Tablespoon at a time.
- Taste for seasoning, adding more salt/pepper as needed.
- Sprinkle chopped parsley for garnish.
Notes
POTATOES: Yukon Gold or Russets make the creamiest mashed potatoes. Personally, I prefer red bliss for their chunkier texture.
Here's an easy recipe for veggie broth. Freeze in ice cube trays to be able to defrost just the amount you need with no waste. If you buy it already made, be sure to use the low sodium variety and look for a brand that doesn't have added processed oils.
KEEP MASHED POTATOES WARM: The easiest way to keep potatoes warm until serving is to either put them into a crockpot on warm, or to place covered over barely simmering water.
REHEAT MASHED POTATOES: If you have any vegan sour cream, add 1-2 Tablespoons and mix thoroughly before reheating. See the post for the different ways to reheat.
