This creamy mashed potatoes recipe is the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. The secret ingredient: cashews. Not only do these nuts make the mashed potatoes really creamy, they also add some proteins. Grating nutmeg right before serving makes a huge difference btw. Serve with this hearty lentil loaf and vegan gravy.

Ingredients

2 lb. potatoes (1 kg)
2/3 cups cashews (100 g)
1 nutmeg (or a dash of grated nutmeg)
salt & pepper to taste
1 tbsp vegan butter/ margarine (optional)
parsley (optional)

Instructions

Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Place potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook partially covered until easily pierced with a fork (about 15-20 minutes).
In the meantime, prepare cashew cream by blending cashews with 2/3 cups water until smooth, adding more water, if needed.
Drain potatoes, saving the cooking water in a bowl. Mash potatoes using a potato masher or a hand mixer.
Add cashew cream and some of the potato water until creamy. If using, add margarine now.
Garnish with fresh parsley and nutmeg and serve warm.
