Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Dairy-free cheddar cheese shreds
- 0.75 cup Dairy-free milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Tomato salsa
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 2 large Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Toss until the potatoes are well-coated with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the dairy-free cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the dairy-free cheese shreds, dairy-free milk, nutritional yeast, and cornstarch.
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until the cheese shreds melt and the sauce thickens. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat once the desired consistency is reached.
Once the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the dairy-free cheese sauce over the crispy potatoes evenly.
Top with tomato salsa, freshly chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Cheesy Fiesta Potatoes!
