Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the raw cashews in hot water for about 30 minutes or in cold water overnight. This will soften them for blending.
Step 2
Peel and cut the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks.
Step 3
Place the cut potatoes in a large pot and fill with water, ensuring the potatoes are fully submerged. Add a pinch of sea salt.
Step 4
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, drain and rinse the soaked cashews.
Step 6
In a high-speed blender, combine the drained cashews, 1 cup of water, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. Adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 7
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot.
Step 8
Pour the cashew cream over the potatoes and gently fold with a spatula or wooden spoon to coat evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the creamy potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped chives on top.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Paleo creamy sour cream potatoes!
