A blog dedicated to testing the recipes from "1000 Vegan Recipes" by Robin Robertson, but with a twist. My personal challenge is to make the recipes with no added oil, and using only whole grains.

Basic Mashed Potatoes
In my mind, there aren't many foods as satisfying as "Basic Mashed Potatoes" (page 373). The recipe as written includes just 4 simple ingredients - Yukon Gold potatoes, soymilk, margarine, and salt.Since I choose not to use margarine or oil when I cook, I replaced this with a little extra soymilk, plus I added a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast to add a richness of flavor to the mash. I also find using vegetable broth instead of soymilk, along with the nutritional yeast, creates a delightful blend of flavors.What's not to like about mashed potatoes?
