Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and boil a pot of salted water.
Add tapioca flour to a glass bowl.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, oil, plant milk, and salt. Heat until small bubbles form (don't let it boil), then pour slowly over tapioca flour. Using a wooden spoon, stir the dough until it becomes stretchy. Then, cover and rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot.
Meanwhile, peel and cook potatoes in boiling salted water until fork-tender. Mash until smooth.
Add mashed potatoes, nutritional yeast, and garlic powder to dough. *Vegan cheese option: If using vegan cheese, grate and add it now, but reduce potato quantity to ½ cup.
Lightly dust a clean countertop with tapioca flour and then transfer the dough to the floured surface and begin to knead. If at any point the dough starts to stick to your hands or the countertop, sprinkle a bit more tapioca flour onto the dough and continue kneading
Now divide the dough into 16 pieces and form into balls. You can make smaller balls if you like but the traditonal size is a golf ball size. Then transfer the balls to oiled parchment paper or an oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
