Dairy Free Mashed Potato Casserole is a nice dish to serve to family & friends. You can prepare it ahead of time and this casserole makes mashed potatoes a little more elegant.
Simply made and a recipe that everyone likes is a dream come true.
Mashed potatoes have been around since infinity as far as I know and turning them into a casserole is just another way to add ease to a meal.
This time I used Yukon gold potatoes for a bit of a different taste. I like to use a potato masher instead of a blender when I make this recipe. A little bit more texture is perfect this time around.
There is also dairy-free cream cheese inside, which gives this mashed potato casserole a nice, flavorful twist. Make sure you pick your very favorite one so that you can get all that you love mixed into one dish.
Some cream cheese products have garlic and chives and there are other combinations but some people have picky eaters around so a plain one would be delicious too. We use that a lot.
Another great potato casserole is this Dairy Free Herbed Scalloped Potatoes recipe.It'll knock your socks off.
The small yellow potatoes called Yukon gold give the side dish another unique flavor from the usual. You're going to love it.
What Potatoes are Best for Mashing?
Yukon Gold potatoes are always my first choice. They are a yellow color and are not as starchy as russets. See the color below?
Russets are good too but you usually need to add more flavoring because they absorb more water.
Since this Vegan Mashed Potato Casserole stores so well in the fridge, it is one of those perfect sides that can beprepared days before company comes.
So let's get started and make a wonderful side dish.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon dairy-free butter over the casserole and sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon paprika all over the top. It makes a pretty presentation.
IF FREEZING:
You'll need to make the casserole in two smaller casseroles so that you can slip them into large freezer bags.
Lay plastic wrap over that but tap it down so that it touches the top of the casserole to help keep freezer crystals out. Then cover with foil then slip in a freezer bag.
TO BAKE:
Defrost overnight in the fridge and then remove the foil and plastic wrap. Replace the foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
