The Cheesiest Sauce
I’ve made many versions of cheese sauce over the years, and this is one of my favorites. It has that stretchy texture and a smoky flavor that I love and is perfect for pizza or Mac and Cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped russet potatoes about 1 large potato
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- ½ cup toasted cashews
- 3 Tbsp white vinegar
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ cup tapioca starch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp liquid smoke optional
- 1 tsp sea salt or to taste
Instructions
- Combine the potato, yellow onion, and toasted cashews in a small saucepan with water to cover.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain the potato mixture, reserving the cooking liquid. Add it to a blender with the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth and creamy.
