Thanksgiving is around the corner and I am so here for it! Eating vegan and gluten-free means holidays look quite a bit different around my house, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy traditional Thanksgiving appetizers and sides. With a few swaps, it’s totally possible to capture the flavors of the holiday without dairy or grains. For example, this Vegan Mashed Potato Chip Dip! It tastes just like your family’s famous mashed potatoes in a snackable format.
You might be asking yourself, “Can’t I just eat this dip with a spoon and call it vegan mashed potatoes?” You totally can. However, I realized that the savory flavor and creamy texture of vegan mashed potatoes is a perfect contrast for crunchy veggies and potato chips. Hence, this dip was born. Eat it with a spoon or dip to your heart’s content; choose your own adventure!
If you’ve ever made mashed potatoes, this dip recipe will look very familiar. You start by peeling, dicing, and boiling potatoes until they’re very tender.
Add in a package of our Garlic & Herb Cheeze Spread for creamy, dreamy texture and delicious garlicky flavor. Vegan sour cream and non-dairy milk give this Vegan Mashed Potato Chip Dip the perfect consistency. I added some fresh chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for even more flavor.
The trick to creamy and non-gluey mashed potatoes is stirring and mashing as little as possible. Overworking your potatoes will make them sticky and gross, so definitely avoid using a food processor or blender for this recipe. Just mash by hand until you get the perfect texture. What do you think, will you stick with traditional vegan mashed potatoes or serve them as a dip with crunchy chips and veggies? Share with me on Instagram!
