  • First, peel the potatoes, quarter them, and place in a pot. Fill the pot with water to about 4 cm — the potatoes will steam-cook. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat and cook until the potatoes are tender.
  • When soft, mash with a hand mixer or potato masher. Leave the cooking water in the pot — this keeps the mash nice and creamy.
  • Gradually add the milk while stirring or mashing until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Cashew cream can be used instead of milk.
  • Season with salt and nutmeg, taste, and serve.

Voilà — your vegan mashed potatoes are ready!

Have fun making them — and enjoy!
