Hearty Loaded Mashed Potatoes

These potatoes are hearty with chunks of potato, savory seasonings, and tasty fillings. They’re just the right side to enjoy with seasoned grilled tempeh, vegetables, or tofu. I paired this dish with some turmeric-seasoned tempeh (recipe soon), which hit the spot for both my husband and me. A good stir-fry would pair delightfully, too!

If you would like smoother mashed potatoes, I recommend using yukon gold potatoes, but I enjoy the texture of russet potatoes for this particular recipe. I use a little bit of mayo in these loaded mashed potatoes because of the creamy tangy flavor it offers. If you prefer to leave out the mayo, just increase the nut milk and salt (slightly).

Overload these potatoes with even more fillings:

Non-gmo corn
Steamed spinach
Steamed kale
Peas
Grilled tempeh
Tempeh bacon

Hearty Loaded Mashed Potatoes
3 lbs Russet Potatoes (about 5 potatoes)
1 large Onion, grilled
6 cloves Garlic, crushed
5 oz. Green Beans (about 2 cups)

Seasoning Sauce:

4 Tbsp vegan Mayo

1/3 c. or more for thinner texture unsweetened Nut Milk (coconut, almond, rice, hemp, or soy milk)

1/2 c. Water
1/2-1 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder

Directions:
1. Wash and cut potatoes (I do not peel mine). Boil or steam potatoes in a large pot.
2. While potatoes are cooking, grill onions and garlic in a skillet over medium heat.
3. In a small bowl whisk together ingredients for seasoning sauce.
4. Once potatoes are soft, drain water and place back into pot. Mash potatoes with a potato masher or large fork. Stir grilled onion/garlic mix, green beans, and seasoning sauce into the potatoes.

Enjoy!
