Vegan Leek and Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Creamy, decadent mashed potatoes. I use vegan butter for a plant-based side dish, but you can certainly use regularly butter as well.

Step: 1

Rinse leek well and drain in a colander.

Step: 2

Melt vegan butter in a pot over medium-high heat and stir in leek. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until leek is soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step: 3

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add sliced potatoes and garlic, and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes and garlic and return to the pot with the leeks. Mash until desired consistency is reached.

One of most clear way to choose a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re making pasta, go for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking process . You don’t want to overcommit your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the stovetop . But sometimes you can make a dish do more often .
