Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Mash the Potatoes: In the same pot, add the vegan butter and plant-based milk to the drained potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Prepare the Mushroom Gravy: In a skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are browned, about 7-8 minutes.
- Make It Saucy: Stir in soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and cook for another minute. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir continuously until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowls: Spoon a generous portion of mashed potatoes into bowls and ladle the mushroom gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
