Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Vegetable broth - 200 ml
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Peel and chop the potatoes into equal-sized chunks for even cooking.
2. In a large pot, add the chopped potatoes and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
3. While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the sautéed garlic, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
5. Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more vegetable broth if needed.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving warm.
