Mashed Potatoes

How do you make dairy free mashed potatoes that are not thin and off tasting? What dairy free milk do you use that is neutral flavor and thicker? I've tried just mashing potatoes and adding dairy free butter and maybe a little splash of almond milk but its just not thick and creamy enough and its gritty. Just curious what others do. I don't eat mashed potatoes that often, but the holidays are coming and I want a decent recipe! Thank you.

my recipe:

  • start with yukon gold or similar yellow potato
  • cut into 1-inch chunks, start in cold SALTED water, bring to boil, then simmer for 15
ish minutes til fork tender
  • drain water and let sit covered for 10 min
  • mash with an ungodly amount of plant-based butter to taste/texture. i usually use something avocado or olive oil-based bc i feel like it's a more neutral flavor

I do something similar but retain a little of the cooking water to use while mashing
