How do you make Creamy Mashed Potatoes?
Who doesn’t love some creamy mashed potatoes as a side dish? These dairy-free potatoes are creamy without dairy. They’re perfect for a plant-based diet, and you can whip them up for your whole family. I promise, they’ll love them. Plus, they go great with these vegan meatballs and gravy. Here’s how you make them: Ingredients:
5 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled, washed – cut in 1-2 inch chunks for boiling 2–3 tbsp. Califia Plant Butter 2–3 tbsp. nutritional yeast 1 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 tbsp. Califia Protein Oat Plant Milk Garnish with some olive oil or more Califia Plant Butter
Instructions: For these mashed potatoes, I used Califia Farms Plant Butter and Oat Protein Plant Milk. I love these products because butter and milk are staples in everyone’s diet and cooking, and these are great plant-based options that I can use on their own or in my recipes. Their Oat Milk is great because most oat milk you find in the grocery store is loaded with fillers and have very little to no health benefits. This oat milk has 8 grams of protein per serving with its blend of oat, pea, and sunflower proteins. It’s rich in omega 3, 6, and 9 that it gets from the flaxseed plant, and its essential vitamins are all derived from plants.
How do you make Vegan Gravy?
For my vegan gravy, I like to use modified versions of this recipe. Who doesn’t love gravy? However, vegans are often forced to live without it because so many places or people think you can only have gravy made from meat-based products. I’m here to prove to you that even vegan gravy can taste so darn good, and be meat-free. vegan meatballs, click here. For this recipe, I used the Califia Farms Plant Butter that I mentioned above. What’s great about this plant butter is that it’s made from REAL food like cashews, tiger nuts (which are super high in fiber), nutritional yeast, avocado oil or olive oil, BUT you get that creamy butter-like taste that melts, spreads, and cooks or bakes well. These products stay clear from palm and canola oils and provide that yummy taste you’ll love with the use of whole foods, versus just fat like regular non-vegan butter. Okay, let’s get to that gravy!! Here’s how you make it:
Ingredients:
2 tbsp. Califia Plant Butter 1 large sweet white onion, finely sliced 4 cloves garlic, pressed 1 1/2 tbsp. vegetable stock paste – I like to use Better Than Bouillon brand 2 tbsp. liquid soy seasoning 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast 2 –3 cups of boiling water 1 heaped tbsp. all-purpose flour + 1/4 cup boiling water and stir till there are no clumps
Instructions:
Don’t forget the vegan meatballs!
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the star of this show. These Brown Butter Vegan Meatballs are so unreal. To achieve a consistency that sticks together, and provides more protein, I use lentils and mushrooms, as well as walnuts. The combination of spices in these vegan meatballs really brings this dish to life and makes it so comforting combined with the gravy on top and a side of creamy mashed potatoes. You’re going to love these!!
