I love me some mashes potatoes. However, I've found it a bit difficult to make them creamy and happy for my vegan friends.

Put the potatoes in the pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes at a rolling boil for about twenty minutes. Now strain the potatoes out of the water and put them in a big bowl. Throw the "creamer", margarine, chives, salt and pepper in to the bowl and mix this all together until smooth.
