Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Tapioca starch
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into fries, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large bowl, toss the potato fries with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the nutritional yeast, almond milk, tapioca starch, garam masala, garlic powder, paprika, and turmeric.
Whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Once the fries are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Serve the fries hot, drizzled with the warm cheese sauce.
Enjoy your Whole30-friendly fries with cheese sauce!
