• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or your favorite butter substitute) or 2 tablespoons butter (or your favorite butter substitute)

Recipe

• 2 while the potatoes are boiling, mince the chipotle peppers and garlic.
• 3 once the potatoes are done cooking, drain.
• 4 add the salt, olive oil and/or (vegan) butter, minced chipotle peppers, garlic, (vegan) mayonnaise and crema mexicana or plain yogurt. mash everything together with a potato masher, or to make your potatoes smoother use an immersion blender.
• 5 taste test. for a creamier consistency add more mayonnaise, crema or (soy) yogurt.
• 6 tip for the vegans: make the potatoes taste a little cheesy by adding in nutritional yeast and/or a handful of your favorite shredded (vegan) cheese. i did not test this recipe with either nutritional yeast or cheese.
• 7 serve hot with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges for garnish.
• 8 servings are estimated.
