Ingredients

• 4 medium potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 cup raw cashews
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer is helpful for consistent slices.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 6

While the chips are baking, prepare the vegan cheese sauce. First, soak the raw cashews in hot water for at least 10 minutes, then drain.

Step 7

In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Blend the mixture on high until it’s smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Once the chips are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Drizzle the warm vegan cheese sauce over the chips, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 11

Garnish with additional smoked paprika or fresh herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
