It's Thanksgiving, so I figured I would share my favorite #vegan version of homemade mashed potatoes and gravy. It's simple to make and delicious comfort food. I will add photos when I make it later today :)

I apologize that the quantities are very non-specific. This recipe is based on my mom's recipe, where you "just know" how much is enough. Everything is tailored to your liking--whether you like thick gravy or thin, lumpy potatoes or creamy, there is no way to go wrong here!

Steps

30 min

1

Bring a large pot of water to boil. While waiting for the water to boil, peel the potatoes and cut each potato into three or four chunks to cook evenly and thoroughly.
2

Add potatoes to the pot of boiling water. Cook for 20-25 minutes until a fork passes smoothly through the potato chunks
3

While the potatoes are cooking, scoop 1/3 cup of flour into a medium pan. Add a small amount of vegetable broth and mix into until you have a fine paste. Keep adding broth and stirring, letting the paste to thin into liquid and making sure no lumps form. Add all but 1 cup of the broth. The gravy will be a little watery and will thicken when it comes to a boil. It is important to add the broth slowly and stir continously so that the gravy isn't lumpy.
4

Put the pan of gravy on the stove at medium heat. Stir continuously until the gravy comes to a boil. When it reaches a boil, you will notice the gravy will thicken slightly. If the gravy is too thick, add more broth and stir. If the gravy is too watery, mix a small amount of flour with a small amount of broth in a separate container until a thick liquid forms and there are no lumps. Add small amounts of the flour-broth mixture until you get the consistency you desire. Salt to taste.
5

Remove the gravy from heat.
6

Strain the potatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Be careful because the potatoes will be hot.
7

Slowly increase the speed of the mixer to high and add small amounts of soy milk and stir the potatoes. Continue adding soy milk and mixing until the potatoes are the desired consistency. Salt to taste.
8

Dish out the mashed potatoes and top with a healthy serving of gravy. Enjoy!
