Sweet Potato Mash & Creamy Mushroom Gravy

Potatoes are the most important part of any holiday feast in my opinion. But I already have a classic mashed potato recipe and figured it was time to change it up. Sweet potatoes make for a very different type of mash but with this mushroom gravy, it is the perfect savory side for your next holiday meal.

Ingredients:

Mash

  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes/yams, peeled

  • 1/2-1 cup nondairy milk

  • 1/4 cup nondairy butter

  • 1 tsp salt

Mushroom Gravy

  • 5 cloves garlic

  • 2 tbsp nondairy butter or olive oil

  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • 2 cups mushrooms, finely chopped

  • 3 tsp liquid aminos (or soy sauce)

  • 1 cup nondairy milk

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil while to start chopping your potatoes

  2. Chop the potatoes into equal-sized cubes and add into the water

  3. Let boil for 15-20 minutes or until very fork tender

  4. Once cooked through, drain the water and return the cooked potatoes to the pot

  5. Add in your milk, butter, and salt and mash until smooth and creamy. Start with less milk and add as needed until you get the consistency you like

  6. Get started on the gravy by sauteing the butter and garlic in a saucepan

  7. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the seasonings and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally

  8. Add in your finely chopped mushrooms and coat in the seasoned butter mixture

  9. Cover and let simmer for 10-15 minutes

  10. Once the mushrooms are very soft, place the sauteed mushrooms in a blender, food processor, or tall cup for an immersion blender

  11. Add the milk in increments so it does not split as it blends. Should be a gravy consistency with tons of flavor!

  12. Serve and store leftovers in airtight containers :)

Veganism doesn't have to be hard, unappetizing, or unhealthy. I here to show people how to make delicious healthy recipes free of many allergens like gluten but with an extra healthy twist. Many of the recipes are completley grain-free, refined sugar-free, oil-free, and made with ingredients that are of course plant based and as close to the whole plant form as possible. There less processed it is, the better. I also write blog posts on living a vegan lifestyle. Veganism isn't just about not eat animals and their byproducts, but also not buying leather or buying cosmetic products from companies who test on animals. I am here to help people on their journey to a life free of cruelty but full of positivity and happiness. I share my vegan story, cruelty free skin care routine, makeup routines, eco-friendly household products, ethical fashion, yoga and meditation, zero waste essentials, how to throw a vegan party, pantry essentials, and so many more!
