I love going on http://www.loveandlemons.com to check out what new vegan recipes they have! Always delicious and easy to make especially when you don’t have too much time to spare. Now when my vegan friends come over they can have nachos:

Ingredients

• ¾ cup peeled and diced Yukon gold potato
• ¾ cup peeled and diced sweet potato
• 2 garlic cloves
• ¼ cup raw cashews
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• ¼ cup water

To make your cheese spicy or smoky, try adding:

• ½ to 1 chipotle pepper from canned chipotles in adobo
• 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeños
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

• Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Add a few pinches of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, 8 to 12 minutes.
• Drain and transfer to a high-speed blender with the garlic, cashews, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, onion powder, salt, olive oil, and water. Blend until smooth.
• For spicy vegan cheese, add the chipotle pepper or pickled jalapeños. If you’d like a smoky flavor, add the smoked paprika.

Notes

Note: if you’re using a high powdered blender, like a Vitamix, there’s no need to soak the cashews. If you’re using a less powerful blender, you can soak them for 2 hours. Drain before adding to the recipe.
