Mash without dairy

[pheebs007]

Just a quick question. Does anyone have an idea of how to make mashed potato, celeriac, whatever without butter or anything dairy?? Don't really want to use marg and can't think what to make it with. Thanks

I have a friend who is dairy intolerant and she dry mashes the spuds, adds salt and pepper then whisks 2 eggs into it - makes a lovely smooth mash.

Great I'll try it thanks!

Have you tried a little olive oil? That's what i used when i was making mash for a vegan friend as i'd run out of dairy free spread.

I use basics mayo in mine. Think it's dairy safe but has egg.

Thank you all. That's very helpful.

Chicken broth or vegetable broth?

If it's just because of the Healthy A reason, try Butter Buds. 1/2 syn each but they do give a nice flavour. They're good on fried mushrooms as well (fry light fried, of course). I get ours from Amazon. They last ages.

I put a bit of almond milk in mine!

I have used fat free natural yogurt in the past & it was great. You couldn't tell at all. Best of all, it's free

2 egg yolks and some wholegrain mustard!

Why would you need to put dairy in mash?? I just mash with a bit of salt and pepper and a dash of water drained in

Because dairy adds a lovely creaminess that lots of people like in mash. It's very usual to add some form of dairy.

I add 1 laughing cow light at 1/5 syn

Soya cream works v well in mash.

My DD won't eat mash if it has butter, milk or anything in it so I just under drain the spuds and then mash really well.
