Is there anything better than mashed potatoes?  Yes there is, my children.  I love evenings!!!!! I like to keep things simple during the week and get very discouraged with vegan cookbooks with a long list of ingredients. I just don't have time during the week. 

Yummy Potatoes In No Time 

Head of Garlic
1 tsp. olive oil
Bag of new potatoes (10 small to Medium) 
1 tsp. salt 
1/4 vegan margarine 
1/4 almond/coconut milk (unflavored) 
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste 

I start by cutting off the top of a whole head of garlic, placing it in aluminum foil, drizzling it with about a teaspoon of olive oil. I wrap it loosely so there is an air pocket, but it is sealed. Place it in the oven at 400 degrees for 30min. Just do this when you first get home.  

I used a bag of red, purple and yellow new potatoes. (About 10 small potatoes. I leave the skin on) The smaller ones. I quartered each, placed them in a pot of boiling water with about a teaspoon of salt. Let them boil about 20-30 min or until tender. 

Take your garlic out, open it up and let it cool. Squeeze out the bulbs. They should come out easily and be kinda mushy. Add 1/4 cup vegan margarine. 1/4 cup almond/coconut milk, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.  That is it! 

Kids love fresh mashed potatoes and this gives you time to work with your kids on homework in between the steps. Bonus!!!

I hope you enjoy, I will have another post tomorrow!!!

Be Joyful!
