Notes
1. This recipe can be easily converted into Vegan mashed potatoes by replacing butter with either olive oil or vegan butter.
2. You may add any dairy or non dairy milk in this recipe. Vegans can use Homemade almond milk , Oats milk or any other nut milk.
3. My children love cheesy flavor so sometimes we do add cheese slices or grated cheese. This is purely optional.
