    We are a mashed potato family, so I cook up dinner with mashed potatoes on a weekly basis.

    The recipes below are family faves, and I've included my two favorite standalone mashed potato recipes, as well, so you'll have options for a starting point. There is also a section of my favorite homemade vegan entree and sides to serve with dairy free mashed potatoes!

    Dairy-free mashed potatoes as a side

    If you're looking to build your own vegan meal with mashed potatoes as a side, rather than part of a finished dish, I recommend starting with a show-stopping protein, like my lentil-quinoa loaf, then choosing a veggie side or two to go with it.

    Below, I'll share the loaf recipe, veggie side options, and my very favorite no-cook gravy.
