  3. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer until fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  4. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  5. Add the vegan butter and minced garlic (if using) to the hot potatoes, allowing the butter to melt.
  6. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork, incorporating the almond milk gradually until you reach your desired creaminess.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well.
  8. For an extra touch, garnish with chopped chives or parsley before serving.
