• 6 medium potatoes, quartered
• ½ green cabbage, julienned
• 2 leeks, julienned
• 1 onion, diced
• ¾ cup low-sodium vegetable stock, for sautéing
• ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 3 Tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
• 2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
• ¼ tsp sea salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

• 1. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, 10–15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the potatoes and create a mushy texture.
• 2. Sauté the cabbage, leeks, and onion in the vegetable stock until tender, then strain to remove moisture.
• 3. In a bowl, mash the potatoes with the milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, and chives.
• 4. Fold in the cabbage and leek mixture and season with salt and pepper.
