Vegan or Vegetarian Mashed Potatoes

Essential Ingredient in a Vegetarian Thanksgiving

People used to eat mashed potatoes almost every day, if not at almost every meal, but they've mostly been replaced with fries.

Now, mashed potatoes are mainly served for holidays meals, with turkey and gravy. That's why we call our humble mashed potato recipe a holiday recipe!

I hope we all agree, mashed potatoes are a necessary part of a vegetarian or vegan Thanksgiving dinner - because our mashed potato recipe goes perfectly with cashew gravy, cranberry sauce, lentil loaf, nut loaf, baked tofu, and vegan stuffing.
