What can I use instead of dairy-free butter?

Refined coconut oil, olive oil, and mayonnaise can replace butter in mashed potatoes. Oils replace butter 1-to-1, and you can use up to 1 cup of mayonnaise in this recipe. Add mayonnaise a little but at a time until you reach your desired texture.

Why do you warm the milk?

Since milk is added after the the potatoes are boiled, adding cold milk to your mashed potatoes will cool them down. We want them to stay nice and toasty for serving, so warm milk is always best.

Instructions

Boil the potatoes: Halve the potatoes lengthwise and place them in a large pot. Fill with water until the potatoes are nearly covered. Then cover snugly with a lid and bring the pot to a boil on the stove. Reduce heat and adjust the lid to maintain a low boil for 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork but not too soft.
Allow to cook evenly: Turn off the heat and drain the water. Cover the pot and allow the potatoes to sit for 10 minutes. This allows the potatoes to finish cooking and maintains an even cooking temperature and texture throughout.
Mash it all together: Add dairy-free butter and seasonings and begin mashing the potato mixture with a potato masher or forks. Then add coconut milk a little bit at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Be careful not to over-mash the potatoes as they can get a sticky, gluey texture. Add additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste and serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a heat safe-bowl over simmering water on the stove. Stir well with either method to ensure even heating.
