I searched for a vegan mashed potato recipe.......hoping to gain some insight into exactly which products were used for butter and milk substitutes. I never found a recipe, so I experimented on my own.
I've found two products to substitute for the milk and butter: Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread and Soy Dream Soy Milk. I buy the 3 pak of the soy milk (3 paks of 8 oz each) and when the potatoes are ready to mash, I just use the same amount of "butter" and "milk" that I used when using real dairy products. For the potatoes I use the Yukon Gold variety. To me, these taste more "potato-y" than Idaho bakers or even red potatoes. If you have any suggestions for alternate products, please post them here.
