Don’t miss out on a classic dish like these creamy mashed potatoes, you don’t have to eat dairy to enjoy them. Don’t miss out on delicious food, just because you’re not eating dairy. There are always alternatives to change up a classic dish and with a few twists and changes, make it vegan or gluten free. Nutmeg is a classic ingredient in German mashed potatoes, when I was still eating dairy, I never added it to my mashed potatoes, but I thought, why not give it a try? It works well in vegan mashed potatoes to add some flavour, as there isn’t that butter flavour you need something to make it less bland and that’s where the nutmeg comes in and fills the gap, no one will even notice that the butter is missing. These authentic vegan mashed potatoes will probably fool your dairy eating guests. Vegan or not, homemade is always the best and will always beat an instant box, you will always have that authentic fresh potato taste. I personally prefer floury potatoes for this recipe. You can make this as a side dish or main dish. As a main dish I used to eat them with scrambled eggs, before going egg free. You could also mix some green peas into your mash.
