Vegan Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
Last year, I served my Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes, which was a big hit served with my yummy Vegan Gravy recipe. However for this Thanksgiving, I decided to experiment with a different flavor and try Vegan Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes. It’s a hit!

In my family we love garlic! I know some people can’t take the smell of garlic, and this recipe would be a problem if one of my family members didn’t love it. I’m so happy that we all do, so this recipe is perfect for garlic lovers like me. You can also check out my Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes!
Best Potatoes For Mashed Potatoes
I find the best potatoes for fluffy and creamy potatoes are Yukon and Russets. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss may lead to ‘potato paste’ rosemary garlic mashed potatoes.
How To Make Vegan Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
For this recipe, I boiled my potatoes with rosemary with chopped garlic to bring out the flavors. You can sauté chopped garlic and rosemary and add after you have mashed the potatoes.
I also wanted a buttery flavor so I added some vegan butter. I used EARTH BALANCE BUTTERY SPREAD, my favorite butter substitute. However, if you don’t care for using a vegan butter, just leave it out and or add double the amount of olive oil.

Vegan Garlic Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds potatoes scrub, peel and cut into halves
- 4 cloves garlic chopped
- 1-2 sprigs fresh rosemary leaves extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup non-dairy butter (I used Earth Balance non-dairy spread)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
Instructions
- Place potatoes, garlic, and rosemary in a large pot with cold water making sure water covers potatoes (about 1 inch). Bring to boil and reduce to simmer, cook for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl, add non-dairy butter,/non-dairy milk/broth, and salt to taste, mash potatoes with a potato masher until smooth and creamy. Serve!
These vegan mashed potatoes sound delicious! I’m wondering which type of milk would be best to use. I typically drink almond milk, but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t always taste great in savory dishes.
There’s nothing like a great dish of mashed potatoes to go with your meat dish. I make these but they aren’t vegan though, but I use some of the same ingredients and we love them. I’m excited to try your recipe next.
This sounds so delicious & I love how smooth the consistency is. Thanks for sharing this!
Yum! Rosemary and garlic in mashed potatoes sound wonderful. Will have to add this side dish to our family dinner soon.
The family is definitely going to love this!
This is making me so hungry! I love this combination of flavors in the creamy mashed potatoes. BIG TIME winner.
Nnniiiccceeee….me loves some mashed potatoes. Adding some garlic in them, will definitely make them more tastier.
Absolutely!
I can’t wait to try this version, thank you very much
You’re very welcome! I’m excited for you to try the recipe.
Hi, i can’t have butters or oils. Would I be able to replace the butter in this with a vegan yogurt. what do you think? thanks
Grace yes, use the unsweetened coconut yogurt, it will be delicious.
I made a variation of this recipe this morning but I omitted the milk/broth and I subbed the non-dairy butter with regular butter. It was creamy and delicious with calloo and I’m sure it will be even more awesome with the curried chickpeas.
Yumm gotta love mashed potatoes
