Vegan Mashed Potatoes

Yes, vegan. No one will be able to tell that you didn't use all that dairy. I made these for Thanksgiving one year and they were a hit. You can also make these with a garlic twist by adding some chopped roasted garlic. I've even used non-fat soy milk to make these and they were still delicious.

Ingredients
4 cups potatoes
2 1/2 to 3 cups water, boiling
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon margarine (vegan)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 whole scallions, chopped

Bring the potatoes to a boil in a pot or large saucepan. Cook the potatoes until they are tender. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes. Drain the potatoes and either leave them in the pot or transfer them to a large bowl. Mash the potatoes with a wood spoon or mashing utensil until they begin to look pureed. Add the soy milk, margarine, and salt, pepper. If you want them a little creamier, add more soy milk and margarine. Sprinkle the scallions over the potatoes and serve!
