Can’t eat dairy or eat vegan and miss things like cheese fries!? Miss them no more with this delicious Baked Vegan Cheese Fries recipe from Kitchen Gone Rogue!
Soak raw cashews in hot water for at least an hour (longer if you’re using a blender that isn’t very powerful)
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F
Wash and slice 2 russet potatoes into “fries,” keeping the skin on
Coat bottom of baking sheet with olive oil
Place the sliced potatoes, skin down, on the baking sheet, sprinkle salt and pepper on top and bake for 20 minutes (or until cooked through and the skins are crispy)
While the fries are baking, peel, cut and cube one russet potato (1 to 1 1/2 cups cubed potato)
Boil the potatoes in water, drain (saving some of the potato water) and mash the potatoes
After the cashews have soaked, add them to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth; add the mashed potatoes, nutritional yeast, fresh lemon juice, filtered water, potato water, salt, turmeric and salt and pepper to taste; blend until smooth.
When the bake fries are done and the cheese sauce is blended, use the cheese sauce as a dip and/or to spread on top of the fries … and enjoy!
