So often, pareve potatoes rely on lots of margarine to achieve a buttery flavor. In this dairy-free version, I challenged myself to create a flavorful mash while using as little margarine as possible.

The resulting potato "flowers" are easy to make if you've got piping tips, and they look like you spent way more time than you did. Even better, you can do most of the prep work a day or two ahead, pipe them the day you need them, and finish them in the oven while the roast is resting.

While I am still a devoted fan of regular mashed potatoes, one of the fabulous things about this baked variety is that you can make ’em ahead and bake ’em later…as is, right next to the turkey. Which saves you from trying to assemble that umpteenth thing alongside the gravy and creamed onions and peas and carrots and on and on and on.
