Unbelievable Vegan Mashed Potatoes

As I recently became vegan, I remembered the creaminess of dairy mashed potatoes. I was not satisfied with other vegan mashed potato recipes, so I created my own. These are as good, if not better, than the mashed potatoes I used to make. No one would ever believe they are vegan.
