1

Boil the Potatoes

Start by peeling and chopping 2 pounds of potatoes into small chunks. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil. Let the potatoes cook for about 15 minutes or until they become tender and easily mashable.

2

Prepare the Mushroom Gravy

While the potatoes are cooking, let's make the mushroom gravy! In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Mash the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are fully cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add ½ cup of unsweetened plant-based milk and 2 tablespoons of vegan butter. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4

Finish the Mushroom Gravy

To finish the mushroom gravy, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the cooked mushrooms and onions. Stir well to combine and cook for a minute to remove the raw flour flavor. Gradually add 2 cups of vegetable broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Reduce the heat and let the gravy simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5

Serve and Enjoy!

Now it's time to bring everything together! Serve the creamy mashed potatoes in a bowl and generously pour the mushroom gravy on top. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives, if desired. Dig in and savor every satisfying spoonful!
