Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 14 ounces frozen shredded potatoes (hash browns) - only ingredient should be potatoes
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/16 teaspoon fine black pepper (or more to taste)
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 tablespoons cashew cream (for extra creaminess)
- 1 garlic clove, pressed (optional)
Instructions
- Add potatoes, water, salt, pepper and garlic to a small lidded saucepan.
- Cover and cook over low-to-medium heat for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in vegan butter and cashew cream.
- Quickly pulse (no more than 5 times) with an immersion blender. If you have extra time and can simmer longer (about 10 additional minutes or longer while still covered with the lid), you can mash them with the back of a spoon.
- Enjoy! Serve with your favorite toppings such as finely chopped chives, fresh ground pepper and a pat of vegan butter.
Notes
If making ahead of time, reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to rehydrate. Try not to microwave it if possible as the stovetop keeps the texture creamy.
