US Cups - Metric

Instructions

Peel and chop your potatoes into 1-inch chunks.
2,2 pounds potatoes
Add cold water, potatoes, vegan butter, salt, pepper & onion/garlic powder to a medium saucepan. Give it a good stir.
2,2 pounds potatoes, 3,5 cups cold water, 2 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon onion or garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper
Bring to a boil then simmer uncovered on medium heat until the potatoes are fork tender - about 20 minutes.
Stir from time to time to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
If needed, add a splash of water to the pan to prevent any bits from burning to the bottom of the pan.
Once the potatoes are tender, let the mixture cook for a few more minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
You might prefer larger chunks and a more chewy texture or you might prefer a mixture with softer bits, more similar to mash.
As a last step, you'll need to transfer them to a serving plate and sprinkle them with fresh parsley, chives, or any other herb.
2 tablespoon fresh parsley

Notes

Not sure what each step should look like? Use the step-by-step photos in the blog post above.

Tip 1 - Use just enough water to cover the potatoes, but not too much. You don’t want this mixture to be too watery as potatoes cook quite fast.

Tip 2 - Adjust salt & pepper to taste - you might need a bit more if you like salty food.

Tip 3 - Adjust the potato chunks to your own preference - leave them bigger or chop them up really small if preferred.

Additional ingredients- feel free to add miso paste, yeast extract (marmite), or some stock cube.

To store - Store any leftovers in an airtight container. Eat within 3-4 days.
