Best vegan mashed potatoes I ever made : Sprouted silken tofu, nutrional yeast, salt, pepper, one raw garlic clove, vegan chicken bullion cube blended in a blender then add to steamed potatoes and mash with a hand masher add almond milk for smoother texture if desired. No fat, all, taste...but this seems way more economical. I am going to try this!
Fantastic !! Those mashed potatoes looked great with a wonderful creamy texture. As a kid I was taught that there was too much starch in the water to use it after the cooking was done. You are quite right, that water is good for a veggie soup stock the next day. I have lots of organic frozen vegetables now that it's cold in my area, and I can throw some into that stock... maybe add some curry or cloves or whatever and it's another nice healthy meal.
These were lovely, had them with capers, saurkraut and green salad and topped with garlic humus for lunch. Hubby was blown away there was no butter or milk... will definitely be a regular in our house 👌👌
The starch water should not be used when cooking potatoes. That is why hers had a glue-like consistency. Also, although handy to use, the immersion blender is not the right choice for mashing potatoes. It purees the potatoes, much like baby food, does not mash them and adds to the glue-like effect. Mash your potatoes by hand with a pastry cutter, or use a traditional hand or stand mixer, which will get some air into the mixture.
+Jack Harris Yep the blender would do it! My research indicates that russets are the starchiest. But you are right. If a blender was used it would not matter what variety.
+Sumaya Benhossen The issue is not chunks vs no chunks. The immersion blender makes a glue like consistancy as opposed to creamy potatoes no glue. However, you are right, it is a matter of personal preference, and for those not bothered by the consistancy, the immersion blender is certainly nice and handy to use. You look great and are a great example of your own cooking!
I made this just now... I used red potatoes, I left the skin on, personal preference, and I omitted the turmeric, since they were red potatoes... I was hesitant to use the immersion blender, but I did, and I will be using the emersion blender for this from now on... It wasn't as pretty as yours, but it was delicious... Thanks for the video... : )
I've never used these spices in mashed potatoes, but certainly want to try something new. I don't think I've ever met a potato that I didn't like 😋 thanks for sharing!
New to veganism - about 6 weeks - and finding your channel a great source of info. There's really no excuse to keep eating meat nowadays ;-) So much info available online and on YT to educate yourself with.
I just made these potatoes tonight and they were so good! My carnivore husband didn't miss the dairy at all. Definitely a keeper! Thanks fro the recipe.
Looks good. To preserve as much vitamin c l would scrub rather than peel. I think soaking for a long time would leech out the vitamins but glad to see the water was re used/saved. Never though of using the immersion mixer. Must try this.
Thanks so much for this recipe! I made these and I LOVED them. So easy and so creamy! I used basil, course salt, pepper, rosemary, oregano and cayenne to give them a bit of a kick. I saved the "broth" as recommended and then used some of that to make the fat-free gravy also featured on here. All was delicious!
Nope. I’m not lazy and I love watching people work in the kitchen, especially when I’m learning something; even if I don’t get to taste the end result. ☺️
I will be making these ASAP! I am so happy I found this video tonight. The starch solution is a new lifestyle that I will be implementing. Thanks for sharing the recipe ;-)
Hi Anja, expat Aussie in the Caribbean here. Following Dr. McDougall WFPB to the letter; so your recipes are perfect without processed oil. We like our taters a bit lumpy with skins scrubbed; so we just crush them a bit with a wooden spoon. I should have subbed ages ago; DONE.
It looks delicious. With that herby 🌿 water I would add some cornstarch and make a perfect gravy for the mashed potatoes yummy Oh & p.s. don't listen to people's negative comments.....this is YOUR SHOW! Let them have their own show and see how they like NEGATIVE COMMENTS....
greetings from Canada to Australia! Rutabega is a member of the turnip family I think and actually does need to be hacked into manageable pieces -- I never peel potatoes -- this is just a Canadian recipe that really works; chop up rutabaga and with minimum of veg stock or water ignore it on low heat. I use a bit of miso paste; don't go nuts over herbs at that point, but certainly whatever you wish. When liquid has evaporated potato masher is all you need; freshly ground black pepper and I use a bit of either olive oil or cashew butter; pinch of lemon juice, sounds complicated but absolutely not. The slow cooking keeps in the nutrients and flavour and it's wonderful with caramelized onions. There's a restaurant in my country which adds some cheddar cheese -- don't notice its absence ever. Tx for great video!.
Thanks, CookingWithPlants, for these great tips. Thumbs up! Sounds yummy. Love the idea of using the herb water for creaminess, and to save for soup etc.
Have been watching your channel for quite awhile, and i must say it is incredible the way you handle your recipes =). Thanks a bunch for your recipes i can cook lots of food and still have a waist line at the end of the day haha. Looking forward for more yummy recipes!
After peeling vegetables or potatoes, you can keep them for a day in a container with fresh water. When for some reason, you want to keep to them a day or 2 longer, please change the water every day to avoid food poisoning. The same counts for tofu.
Yum. Thanks for showing your great recipe. Sounds like lots of flavor w/o any dairy. I'll try it w/o the salt and see how it works. Also I think I'll try an ordinary masher to keep it a little more rough. Thanks again. I've been wondering how to make mashed potatoes w/o dairy.
Thank you for this video, my son is on the spectrum and extremely extremely picky, he still only eats purée, and needs to be on dairy free diet but hard to make things that he likes! I tried your way and it came out delicious, he’s loving it 😊 yeyyy
What a brilliant idea, pre-peeling and cutting the potatoes and storing them in a container like that with water. I wonder if I can convince my SAD (Standard American Diet) family of this type of mashed potatoes for the Christmas dinner this year. I would however use a hand masher I like having the potatoes somewhat intact not fully creamed like that.
+CookingWithPlants Made this recipe and it was a big hit. My wife, my daughter, and I all really liked this dish. Thanks, Anya. I think the Vegan Alfredo Potato Bake will be next on the list. Thanks, again. Russ(from Lansing, Michigan)
I recreated your mashed potatoes recipe and it came out great! I watched your video before and I thought you used soy milk but apparently, it really isn’t needed. Thanks for the great tip about using the leftover potato liquid as vegetable broth, it is rather expensive to buy it in the store. Being a guy, I would have poured it down the drain. It is also nice to be able to cook something and then use leftovers as a primary ingredient in another recipe.
I just wanted to write that this is a great channel, and I will certainly be trying this recipe! And second, to all the people moaning in the comments, feel free to go and make your own channel if you can do better. Once you've got over 100K subscribers then I'll trust your judgment, for now, I'll stick with Anja's :)
I would have never thought of adding the herbs to the potatoes and water. Normally, I add them when I mash the potatoes. I'll try it the next time I make mashed potatoes.
This turns out great! Added any stock, nutritional yeast, helps flavor w/o oils or salt. People, small amount of the starch water won't hurt. Hers are yummy mashed potatoes! Save water for making potato vegan bread, rolls. Google recipe. You can mash potatoes by hand, too.
You are such a good cook!! You are very beautiful and seem like a very nice person aswell! i came across your recipes while looking for vegan mashed potato. Yours came up the top and i do admit "the best vegan mashed potato" title and the photo did catch my eye haha :) i added a bit of my homemade almond milk and i added most of the juice left with the herbs which i boiled the potatoes in into the mash. It tasted so so delicious!! i have made it 3 times in a couple of weeks haha. I am new to being a vegan, i was vegetarian for 6 years. i am 26 now :) i am looking forward to more of your recipes!! thank you and well done on your major transformation!!
We make our potatoes very much like this video. But when we boil our potatoes, we add a fair amount of cauliflower. The Cauliflower blends very nicely when you whip the potatoes, and it adds a nice fluffy mash. The flavor, in my view, is very nice indeed. But it's really hard to make bad mashed potatoes. Thank you for this video.
Hello Anya...(hope I spelled that right). I love your white and black kitchen. Thanks for all your recipes. I started using your recipes about a month or so ago. I have lost 20 pounds and couldn't be more pleased. Your recipes are delicious, and I love your smiley videos! Keep up the good work. I know this is an old video, but just thought to chat. thanks and God Bless.
I LOVE that all your recipes are oil-free and dairy-free! Thank you for sharing such amazing recipes!
+Angelo Tiffany Glad you like them :-)
I know!! I can't believe a dish I've eaten all my life w butter n cream can look so amazing with neither.. I love it
I made this recipe and it was heavenly! My daughter who is very picky, absolutely thought she had died and went to heaven. Thanks for all you do!

I think this is a good idea but needs a bit of love. No starch water, no handblender and add the fresh herbs in the very end.
+smugglerscoveconsulting It's the blender that's brought the starch out and she used yellow spuds which are starchier.
+Jack Harris Yep the blender would do it! My research indicates that russets are the starchiest. But you are right. If a blender was used it would not matter what variety.
+smugglerscoveconsulting some people prefer this consistency, me included, some don't want chunks. It is personal preference how potatoes are mashed.

Add a few lemon slices to the water, keeps them bright and really adds a nice flavor. Looks great.
Thanks for showing me how to boil potatoes. ...huge help!
looks delicious!
My favorite is have portion of the mashed potatoes mixed with the steamed seasoned broccoli, so good!!
That is a good idea. I have to try that for my dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing

thanks for your ideas~ cheers!

Really what I have been looking for all this time! Thanks...
EntroutWeb Glad you like it
Lovely! Do you think that the lack of starch by using unsigned potatoes would affect the final outcome?
I think I would add some nutritional yeast for a cheezy taste and higher nutritional value
kim andersen I sometimes do that :-)
If you add nutritional yeast then can it be used for making pizza?
@@mathrupradeep Yes, you can mash a can of white beans with nutritional yeast and water or wine and get a pouring sauce!
I never got a cheese flavor from nutritional yeast. I like it buy cheese doesn't fit the flavor.
OMG everybody says that; it's just me but nutritional yeast makes me gag if I don't disguise it somehow. vr helpul comment,
I never thought of doing that with the potatoes, it is a drag to ALWAYS have to chop up things when I want to make a quick meal, thanks!
