Ingredients

  • 2 Pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 1 Head Garlic
  • 1 Batch Cashew Cream see ingredients and instructions below
  • 2 Tablespoons Bourbon
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Chives for topping

Cashew Cream

  • ¾ Cup Raw Cashews
  • ¾ Cup Unsweetened Non-Dairy Milk

Instructions

  • Soak the cashews in boiling water.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, partially peel the potatoes and then chop them into large chunks or quarters, depending on the size.
  • When the water boils, add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the garlic in a small pan for 1-2 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  • Drain the cashews. Place them and the non-dairy milk into a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Add the potatoes, bourbon, and garlic to the food processor and puree until you reach your desired consistency. Or, use a potato masher to mash. You can leave some small chunks of potato for texture or blend/mash until the potatoes are completely smooth.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chives. Enjoy!
