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.
Hi guys! I'm not sure if this would work for you but I've been using So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut milk or unsweetened Almond Milk as a milk substitute. It works great in cornbread. I'm concerned with how much heat processing the soy milk may be undergoing. I just started on So Delicious Cultured coconut milk. Haven't cooked with it yet.
ReplyDeleteI love Earth Balance, but instead of milk I used Tofutti sour cream and just a little olive oil. They were delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteI will try the above suggestions......thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use a little nutritional yeast in mine to give it a richer slightly cheesy nutty flavor. It also adds b12 :)
