Recipe Notes:

  • I kept my version lactose-free by using unsweetened CashewMilk, Greek yogurt, and of course unsalted butter.
  • For creamier potatoes, substitute heavy cream for the milk, and sour cream can be substituted for the yogurt.
  • For even richer flavor cook the potatoes with chicken stock.
  • I used Yukon Gold potatoes but russet potatoes would work as well.
