Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup cashews (soaked for 2 hours)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot, fill with water to cover the potatoes, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the Whole30 sour cream. Drain the soaked cashews and place them in a high-speed blender.
Add coconut milk, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the blender.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them back to the pot over low heat to dry out any excess moisture.
Add olive oil to the pot and begin mashing the potatoes using a potato masher or a fork.
Stir in the prepared Whole30 sour cream mixture into the mashed potatoes. Mix well until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the creamy sour cream potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
