Recipe by Ellen Fisher

This recipe is vegan

Ingredients:

Golden or Russet potatoes, as desired

1 head of cauliflower or broccoli

Cheesy Dipping Sauce, recipe below

For the Cheesy Dipping Sauce

2 pounds golden potatoes, diced

1 pound sweet potato, diced

1 medium carrot, diced

2 garlic cloves

1/4 small onion

1/2 c. whole raw cashews

1 lime, juiced

1/2 tsp turmeric

garlic powder + salt to taste

1 c. water

Directions:

Preheat the oven 425°F. Thinly slice potatoes into fry shape and place on a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle the potatoes with garlic powder and black pepper and pop into the oven for about 30 to 50 minutes. Rotate trays in the oven as necessary.

Prepare the dipping sauce. While the potatoes are baking, boil the golden potatoes, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic cloves in a large pot of water on medium/high heat for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain the water and add the ingredients to a large high-speed blender along with the other Cheesy Dipping Sauce ingredients. Blend on high until totally smooth. Add more water for a thinner texture as desired.

Steam or boil the cauliflower or veggies of choice.

Arrange potato fries and veggies on dinner plates and serve the dipping sauce on the side for your kids to go to town and dip like veggie champs!
