One of my absolute favorite things to eat at Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes.
No Thanksgiving table is complete without them (and if you don’t like them you’re crazy!)
Mashed potatoes are one of the most important things to get right if you’re making Thanksgiving dinner.
These potatoes are creamy, delicious, and have a great depth of flavor from the fresh garlic and onion puree.
That is one of the secrets to how good these are!
If you want mashed potatoes that really stand out, this is the way to go.
No one would ever guess that these are vegan!
Serve them up with my best ever vegetarian gravy recipe, cranberry sauce, and vegan stuffing!
My only suggestion is to make a double (or triple) batch – these will go quickly!
