Best Mashed Potatoes without Milk
For non-dairy, I recommend Earth Balance Buttery Sticks or Smart Balance (both are vegan). You can add in 1/2 tsp garlic powder OR 1 clove fresh garlic very finely minced and snipped fresh chives.

Peel the potatoes and place them in a large stockpot. Fill water to 1-inch above the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, then turn the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot, and cook for 15-20 minutes. Check for doneness by piercing a potato with a fork. Drain.

Stir in the butter and season with salt. Taste and adjust with additional salt and/or butter if needed. If the mashed potatoes isn't quite creamy enough, add more butter.
