Ingredient Breakdown
Potatoes
Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for their creamy, fluffy texture when mashed.
Roasted Garlic
Roasting garlic softens its flavor, bringing a sweet, nutty richness to the dish.
Cashew Cream
A plant-based alternative to heavy cream, cashew cream provides a luscious, dairy-free texture.
Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Garlic
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap in foil.
- Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden. Allow to cool, then squeeze the roasted cloves out of their skins.
Step 2: Prepare the Cashew Cream
- Drain the soaked cashews and blend them with 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, and salt in a high-speed blender until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Potatoes
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Step 4: Mash the Potatoes
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer.
- Add the roasted garlic, vegan butter (if using), cashew cream, and plant-based milk. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5: Serve
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Serve warm.

Tips and Variations
- Make It Oil-Free: Skip the olive oil and vegan butter, and use additional plant-based milk for moisture.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Stir in chopped parsley, chives, or rosemary for added flavor.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the mashed potatoes in advance and reheat them in the oven with a splash of plant-based milk to restore creaminess.
- Use a Food Processor: For extra-smooth mashed potatoes, process the mixture briefly in a food processor.
