Fluffy Mashed Potatoes with Vegan Gravy – 1 Pot gravy- Mushroom Free. Can be Nut-free, soy-free. Serve over mashed potatoes, biscuits, thanksgiving loaf and more. Vegan Recipe.
There often are hundreds of versions of some popular dishes on the web. Sometimes I make elaborate versions of the simple ones or make some with my own twists. But then it is the holiday season and everyone needs a simple gravy recipe to serve over them fluffy tatoes. This is one of the ways I like my gravy. You can add mushrooms with the onions to the gravy for a mushroom variation. Use fresh herbs if possible for amazing flavor.
I cook my potatoes and garlic together in the Instant pot. Mash and whip, add some coconut milk and herbs of choice. Done! Potatoes can also be cooked in a saucepan. See post for options.
The gravy needs just 1 pot and comes together quickly. Change up the flavors to taste and pour over anything and everything! Time to make some comfort food.

Excellent GF and vegan gravy, a firm favorite in our home. Thanks and thanks so much for all the wonderful recipes.
Thank you!
This is so good. I do a use a NO chicken chicken based stock (which is vegan) for it which to me makes all the difference to it. I also felt like it was missing something else for my teast ao I also add a little bit of oregano to it aswell.
I will also use this recipe to make a vegan pot pie since it’s so good. Whenever I have made this with mashed potatoes I all I want I more mashed potatoes and this gravy. I don’t even need the main dish.
I’m glad you enjoy the dish!
Iโve made this gravy the past two thanksgivings and am prepping it now again for this year. This gravy is amazing!!!! Everyone non vegans alike love it!! I tripled the recipe for everything except used two chopped onions and veggie broth instead of water and I blended it all at the end to be smooth. My husband drinks it with a spoon! Thank you!
Wonderful! I’m so glad to hear.
