Smashed Potatoes

These rustic potatoes aren't smashed perfectly smooth. The skins are left on, which adds nutrients and fiber.

INGREDIENTS | SERVES 6

  • 6 Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 shallots, minced
  • 1 (3-ounce) package dairy-free, vegan cream cheese, softened
  • 2–4 tablespoons soy milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
  1. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1″ pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes; bring back to a simmer.

  2. Simmer 10–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain, then return potatoes to hot pot.

  3. Meanwhile, in small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat; cook garlic and shallots. Place pot with hot potatoes over medium heat and, using a fork, mash in the garlic mixture. Leave some pieces of the potato whole.

  4. Stir in the cream cheese, 2 tablespoons soy milk, salt, and pepper; add enough milk for desired consistency. Serve immediately. Or you can keep these potatoes warm in a double boiler over simmering water for about an hour.
