Notes
This recipe makes about 6 cups of mash, or about 12 (½ cup) servings.
If you don't have a food processor or potato ricer, you can mash everything together with a potato masher.
To make this side dish vegan, simply use non dairy milk (I recommend using soy milk, which has a rich texture and neutral flavor) and plant based butter.
