There’s no need to cook separately for the vegans at your table when you serve mashed potatoes that are every bit as good as the traditional kind made with milk and butter. Be sure to use unsweetened almond milk (or another favorite nut milk) to keep them savory. For the fastest prep, you can start cooking the potatoes cooking while the garlic roasts.

3. Directions:
3.1 Preheat
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
3.2 Prep
Slice about 1/4 off the top of the head of garlic to expose some cloves. Rub all over with the olive oil. Wrap garlic head in a small sheet of foil.
3.3 Oven
Roast the garlic directly on middle rack of oven until garlic cloves are tender (open up to check), about 30 minutes.
3.4 Check
Check to see that garlic is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
3.5 Prep
Let garlic stand until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut into 1 inch chunks.
3.6 Stove
Put potatoes in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and add water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes; drain. Return potatoes to saucepan.
Add the almond milk, vegan butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper to potatoes. Mash with a large fork or potato masher until fairly smooth.
Squeeze the roasted garlic out of papery skins and add to potatoes. Stir to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired.
3.7 Serve
Transfer to a serving bowl and top with additional vegan butter or olive oil if served.
