Dairy Free Garlic Mashed Potatoes

This is my family’s favorite mashed potato recipe. Instead of butter and milk, I use olive oil and vegetable broth. It is is so flavorful that nobody will ever miss the butter and milk.

 I use a potato ricer to easily create super creamy mashed potatoes.

I like to make my mashed potatoes a couple hours before dinner and keep them warm in a crock pot. This reduces the work load right before serving dinner, making for a less stressed cook. And in my opinion, the most important element to a successful dinner is a relaxed cook!

    It is a challenge to deal with dietary restictions (don't you just *dislike* that word). Your attitude is a good one and lucky for your kids you have figured just what works for substitutes. We have traded mashed potatoes many times for mashed turnips. Just as good and since they are not as dry as potatoes, no need to add a bunch of milk and such.

    Blessings!

    This is good to know because I can't use soy products either… though milk products don't bother me a bit. I want to try your recipe!

    Happy Foodie Friday…

    XO,

    My kids took that picture to get back at me for making them pose with pictures of their favorite pies. I am making recipe books for them. I want to include pictures of them and our family cooking, serving, and eating the food to include in the recipe book.

    Your method is so much healthier, I'll have to give it a try. By the way, you look cute holding your bowl of mashed potatoes!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
