Vegan Mashed Potatoes
  1. 1

    Place the potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a large pot and cover them with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.

  2. 2

    Transfer the boiled potatoes and garlic to a large bowl; discard the rosemary and thyme. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, adding the cooking water to reach the desired consistency.
