I am just going to say it. These are the most delicious [vegan] mashed potatoes that you will ever eat. I preface this recipe by highlighting “vegan” because I realize that all of you carnivores out there will agree with one another that bacon mashed potatoes are the most delicious. Possibly even lobster mashed potatoes [hello Mastro’s] are the most delicious, and quite even cheesy mashed potatoes. This claim will also induce air quotes with “delicious” inside of them and a few eye rolls. Whatever your carnivore choice is, these will remain THEE most delicious VEGAN mashed potatoes that you will ever eat. They’re green, creamy, crave-worthy, and Sam-I-Am approved [my bf].
I have to admit, there have been nights where I only ate mashed potatoes for dinner with crumbed pieces of Tempeh bacon. Yes, I went there, over and over again, and it was DEElicious.
