These potatoes are such a great side dish that everyone will love, vegan or not. I have had my fair share of sad vegan mashed potatoes that were just potatoes – no butter or milk. That’s normally what happens when people hear there is a vegan coming for dinner! But never fear, these mashed potatoes will not disappoint, and will be loved by everyone at your dinner!

Do you have a good, cheesy recipe for vegan Parmesan cheese? I’ve made a couple but they were a disappointingly bland. Thanks in advance
can i use unsweetened oat milk for this recipe instead of coconut milk?
★★★★
Yep! You might want to add a bit of vegan butter for fat and they’ll be creamier :). But yes they’ll be great!
Can this recipe be prepared the day before? At what stage would you stop and refrigerate and then continue just before serving. Possibly pop on the oven to heat up?
You could definitely make it all the day before, but just make a bit of extra garlic coconut milk mixture, then add that the next day when you reheat it on the stove to rehydrate and make them fluffy again :). Hope that makes sense! Adding a bit more liquid as you reheat will make it super easy to stir and get nice and fluffy.
