Every Thanksgiving I look forward to mashed potatoes and gravy. This plant based version is beautiful and tasty. I picked purple potatoes because of their spectacular color. These potatoes are also thought to be rich in anti-oxidants compared to their traditional counterparts. They taste just like traditional potatoes and are easy to mash. I prefer them with the peels on. They go really well with my Garlic Rosemary Gravy recipe or just on their own. You can find truffle oil at Whole Foods or on Amazon.com (link below). The bright, bold color of this dish will definitely brighten up your Thanksgiving table!
