Can You Make Mashed Potatoes Without Milk?

Yes. You can make flavorful mashed potatoes with olive oil, butter, broth, or a suitable unsweetened dairy-free alternative instead of milk.

Choose a liquid

Warm the chosen liquid first and add it gradually; the amount needed depends on potato variety and moisture.

For dairy-free guests

Use olive oil or verified dairy-free butter and broth. Check product labels if allergies are involved, and use clean utensils to avoid cross-contact.

Will texture change?

Yes. Milk adds creaminess, while broth produces a lighter result and olive oil a different mouthfeel.
