Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds potatoes (peeled, then halved or quartered)
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 2 tablespoon sage or rosemary (chopped)
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place the potatoes in the Instant Pot liner. Cover with water (I needed 4 cups) so the potatoes are immersed, click on the IP lid and set to cook on manual pressure for 8 minutes.
  • After cooking is done, wait for pressure to release naturally or force release after 10 minutes.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, place the olive oil in a small skillet with the sage and garlic. Let the flavors infuse into the olive oil over low heat. Stir a few times. After about 12-15 minutes the garlic should be turning lightly golden. Don't let it burn. Turn off the heat.
  • Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain all of the water and place the potatoes back in the Instant Pot liner.
  • While the potatoes are still hot, add the vegan butter, nondairy milk and dijon mustard. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or a heavy wooden spoon. Or you can put the potatoes through a ricer and then stir in the butter, milk and mustard.
  • Optional: use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes for two minutes, which will make them even lighter and fluffier. This is not absolutely necessary, the potatoes will be divine even without it.
  • Stir the garlic sage olive oil into the potatoes and mix well. Serve hot. If you like, garnish the mashed potatoes with finely chopped chives.
