Mashed Potatoes

Vegan mashed potatoes are a delicious treat anytime!  If you’re planning to serve mashed potatoes at your vegan Thanksgiving dinner, pair with the Jazzy Vegetarian‘s Savory Seitan Loaf and top with my quick and easy vegan gravy recipe or fresh parsley. 

If you’re specifically looking for vegan Thanksgiving recipes, check out the special vegan Thanksgiving section with pumpkin piestuffing, all of your favorites.

But I don’t wait for Thanksgiving to make mashed potatoes! I make them all the time. They reheat well and make a lovely side dish as leftovers. They add comfort to anything else I may be making. If you love potatoes as much as I do, you may also enjoy this South Indian recipe for masala dosa filling.

One of my favorite leftover meals was mashed potatoes with roasted brussels sprouts and tempeh bacon. Yum!
