Secrets for a Velvety Purée

– for a fluid purée add more hot water

– for a creamier texture pass the potato purée twice through the potato masher

– cooking the potatoes with their skins on allows them to cook more evenly and absorb less water

STORING the vegan purée

The vegan purée is best prepared fresh and enjoyed warm, at most it can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated on the stove with some liquid to make it creamy again. Or use leftover purée like this.
