Garlic Mashed Potatoes

4 – 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 pounds organic red skin potatoes
Water to cover
1 bay leaf
3 large garlic cloves
¼ teaspoon mustard powder

½ teaspoon sea salt
½ cup vegan mayonnaise
¼ cup of the liquid potatoes were cooked in
Method

Wash/scrub potatoes and cut them into equal size.

Cover with cold water then add bay leaf and garlic cloves, bring to a boil.

Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.

Drain potatoes and reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Remove and discard the bay leaf.

Place the potatoes, mustard powder, sea salt, vegan mayonnaise in a mixing bowl with a paddle.
Mix just long enough for potatoes to reach a creamy consistency. Add cooking liquid ¼ cup at a time if needed.  
If you process too long potatoes will become sticky and gooey rather than light and fluffy.
You can also use a potato masher to cream the potatoes.  Just be careful not to over mix the potatoes, you want them to be light and fluffy.
