Guys, craving loaded potatoes?  This recipe is SO good and better than the O.G. because the potatoes are dip-able like nachos!  This recipe makes three-four servings, and is perfect for dinner, as an after-school snack, or an evening get together.  I like to add quinoa and make a bowl out of it.  

Ingredients

  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes

  • 2 tbsp. ghee or olive oil

  • Jakes Prime or sea salt + pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup cashew sour cream (recipe below)

  • 1 cup black bean dip (recipe below)

  • Mashed avocado + chopped tomato blend (cilantro is a great addition, too)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425

  2. Slice potatoes into thin rounds (can go up to 1/4” thick if want thicker portions).

  3. In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil.

  4. On foiled baking sheets, place potato rounds in single layer. Sprinkle with jake's prime or salt.

  5. Bake for 30-35 min. or until potatoes are golden and start to crisp at edges.

  6. When cool, put potato rounds into 3-4 bowls with beans, cashew sour cream + tomato/avo blend. I also add quinoa to mine (yum).

  7. If serving family-style, arrange potato rounds on a large platter with bowls of beans, avocado-tomato blend, cashew sour cream, and cilantro (if using).

 

CASHEW SOUR CREAM

This dairy-free cashew sour cream is healthy, tangy, creamy, protein-rich and the perfect compliment for any spicy dish that calls for sour cream.

  • Water to blend

Directions

  1. Drain cashews and place in blender.

  2. Add vinegar, lemon juice, and sea salt.

  3. Pour in just enough water to cover the cashews.

  4. Blend on high approx 2-3 min. until mixture is smooth and creamy.
