Guess what potatoes are always on my table like with my Funeral Potatoes, the Greek Lemon Potatoes, or the Garlic Mashed Potatoes.

Not enough of that yet? Try out my Nacho Fries or the Potato Curry. Versatile, budget friendly, filling and always so easy to make.

What’s not to crave? Right, these are always great and a winner, big time.

Why these are the most amazing Creamy Potatoes

Creamy: from vegan butter, sour cream, and cream cheese.

The topping takes this party potatoes truly from a favorite to a gourmet version: vegan cheddar and breadcrumbs are the key.

How to make Creamy Potatoes

Preheat oven to 410°F and get a 8×11 inch casserole ready.

Scrub and clean your potatoes, then peel them. Add them to salted water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until they are really soft.

When done, transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl. Add vegan cream cheese, butter, sour cream, plant milk, garlic, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Mash until creamy, then transfer to your casserole. Mix vegan cheddar and breadcrumbs, sprinkle over the top. Bake for 15 minutes until the topping is melted.

Potato mash is transferred to a casserole dish and the breadcrumb-cheese topping prepared in a small bowl.

 

Leftovers of the Creamy Potatoes can be stored in your fridge for around 5 days.

These are great make ahead potatoes that freeze well. Let them cool completely and use a freezer friendly casserole or divide into individual portions.

Thaw completely and warm into the oven at low temperature until hot.

Breadcrumb and cheese topping is given over the potatoes.

Tips and tricks

For super creamy potatoes I like to use my hand mixer, because I find I get the most luxurious texture, that I can’t get with a potato masher.

You can add a bit of nutmeg if you like, but I find absolutely not needed.

I can imagine topping with French Fried Onions might be also great.
