Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 2 lb (1kg) peeled and diced yellow potatoes
- 1 tablespoon grape seed oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup (150g) diced yellow onion (1/2 medium)
- 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt, plus more to taste
- 3/4 cup (180ml) Massel vegetable broth
- 1/3 cup (47g) raw unsalted cashews, soaked and drained
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, plus more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Instructions
-
Place the chopped potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until tender. Drain well.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the grape seed oil, and sauté the garlic and onion with a pinch of the salt for 5 to 10 minutes until soft and translucent and just starting to brown. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
-
Pour the broth, cashews, rosemary, remaining salt, and pepper into your blender, add the cooked onion and garlic mixture, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy.
-
Transfer the drained potatoes into the bowl of your stand mixer, and begin whipping with the paddle attachment. Gradually pour in the blended mixture, and process for 10 to 20 seconds until the potatoes are light and fluffy. (You could also mash the potatoes by hand with a potato masher or ricer.)
-
Season to taste, and serve.
