Whole30/Paleo Cashew Parm Smashed Red Skin Potatoes

August 23, 2020 By Erica N Leave a Comment

Happy Sunday! As always I hope it has been productive. I’m taking a day off from cooking because I started my Whole30 reset and I’ve been doing a lot of cooking. I am only on day 4 haha. Today’s Recipe is something easy and quick, for the potato lovers, crispy/ buttery cashew parmesan smashed redskin potatoes. Of course, I am potato obsessed, and love creating potato recipes, don’t judge me haha.

Potato type: With this recipe I decided to go with baby red skin potatoes because they are moist, high in fiber, high in vitamin c and low in starch. They are cood for roasting and boiling, light and creamy. they hold their shape well that is why the are perfect for smashed potatoes.

Cashew Parmesan: I am completely obsessed with cashew parmesan. The first time o tried it was a recipe by Iheartumami recipe, then I found the recipe by A dash of Dolly which has become a favorite https://adashofdolly.com/vegan-parmesan-cheese/. Though I now make my own way. The recipe is quite simple. Parmesan wings have become a staple in my home. I always have this Cashew Parmesan on hand. It is dairy-free but somehow is reminiscent of real parmesan. It gives these potatoes a great taste/ cheesy taste and crunch without the troubles and affect of dairy.

Ghee gives it the buttery taste while still remaining compliant with the Whole30 program. This is a side dish that pretty much goes with all main dishes. Make this and don’t forget to tag me on social media,rate and comment.
