Mashed Potatoes
November 17, 2016
Yukon Gold potatoes are the secret to making heart-healthy mashed potatoes, since they taste deliciously buttery all on their own. Look for these fist-sized potatoes in the produce aisle; they have a thin, yellow-brown skin and yellow flesh. Feel free to mix and match the herbs in this recipe, using all one type or creating a favorite combination. An easy-to-make, oil-free Roasted Garlic puree makes a crowd-pleasing addition, especially when the finished potatoes are topped with vegan Mushroom Gravy.
