Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Cashew cream
- 2 tablespoons Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly scrub the potatoes clean and dry them off with a towel.
Step 3
Pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub the potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for 50 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dairy-free cheesy topping by combining nutritional yeast, cashew cream, garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are fully baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Step 8
Carefully slice each potato lengthwise and gently fluff the inside with a fork.
Step 9
Top each potato with the prepared dairy-free cheesy mixture, ensuring it covers the fluffed areas.
Step 10
Sprinkle the paprika over the top for a hint of smokiness and add freshly chopped chives for garnish.
Step 11
Return the dressed potatoes to the oven for an additional 10 minutes to warm the topping and meld flavors.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and serve hot as a side dish or a main meal option.
