Note

For extra creaminess without the fat, warm the vegetable broth slightly before adding it to the potatoes.

If you prefer a smoother texture, use a food processor or hand mixer, but be careful not to over-mix as this can make the potatoes gluey.

These mashed potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or broth to restore creaminess.

Feel free to add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor boost without the dairy.
