Why This Dish Is Worth Trying
Simple, flavorful, and uses everyday ingredients. It’s a great way to enjoy potatoes with a rich garlic taste without any animal products. Plus, it’s quick to make and perfect for any meal.
Directions
Put the potatoes, water, broth, and garlic into a pot. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the potatoes are nice and tender, about 15 minutes. Once they’re soft, drain the potatoes, but don’t toss the cooking water—set it aside for later. Put the potatoes back in the pot and stir them over medium heat for about a minute to let any extra moisture evaporate. Take the pot off the heat, then slowly add some of the reserved cooking water and rice milk, alternating between the two as you stir vigorously. Keep going until the potatoes are creamy but not too soggy, and there’s no pooling liquid left in the pot.

How To Store For Later
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the potatoes crispy instead of using a microwave.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of plant-based milk instead of rice milk?
Yes, almond, oat, or soy milk can be used as a substitute, but choose an unsweetened, unflavored variety for best results.
How can I make the potatoes creamier without adding too much liquid?
Slowly add reserved cooking water and plant milk while stirring vigorously until you reach a creamy texture without excess liquid.
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes before cooking?
Peeling is recommended for a smoother texture, but you can leave the skins on for extra nutrients and a rustic feel.
Can I use fresh garlic instead of sliced garlic?
Yes, fresh sliced or minced garlic works well; adjust the amount to your taste preference.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds are ideal for creamy, smooth results.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can make it in advance and reheat gently, adding a little milk or cooking water if it thickens too much.
Why do I need to save the cooking water?
The cooking water contains starch that helps achieve a creamy texture when combined with the milk.
How can I add more flavor without adding animal products?
Try adding nutritional yeast, herbs like rosemary or thyme, or a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.
