Dairy Free Mashed Potatoes


  • Author: Jen
  • Yield: 4 people + leftovers 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds potatoes ( *)
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (expeller-pressed or refined) ( **)
  • 3/4 cup cashew milk ( ***)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel your potatoes and cut into quarters or small chunks. 
  2. Insert your strainer or a steamer basket into your Instant Pot. Pour in one cup of water (alternatively, you can add your potatoes to a large pot with enough water to cover them and boil for about 20 minutes or so on medium heat). 
  3. Add your chopped potatoes so they sit on top of the basket. 
  4. Seal the lid and press the Manual function and the “-” button to get to 10 minutes. 
  5. After 10 minutes, use the quick release function to release the steam. Be careful here-everything will be really hot. 
  6. Carefully transfer your potatoes to a bowl (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer here) and add the remaining ingredients. 
  7. Mash everything with a potato masher or use your mixer to mix all the ingredients together. If using a mixer, be careful not to over blend or the potatoes will be gummy. I don’t recommend using an immersion blender for this reason. 

Notes

*Any potatoes will do. I love Russet because they are usually inexpensive and delicious. 

**Be careful of which avocado oil you use. I love the one from Trader Joe’s. You want to look for one that is refined or expeller-pressed. This one from Amazon is also great. If you use extra virgin, it will be a much stronger taste (and green) and will change the flavor. 

***I have a cashew milk recipe that I use for this. I haven’t tried using boxed cashew milks because they usually have gums that I don’t tolerate well. Please let us know if you try!
