Equipment
Ingredients
- 6 medium to large russet potatoes scrubbed and washed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 green onions sliced, plus extra for garnish
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- smoked paprika for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Thoroughly wash and scrub the outside of the potatoes. Using a fork, pierce holes all around the potato. Toss them in a bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil, until they are well coated. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Slice: Once potatoes have been cooled, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the filling from both halves into a bowl, leaving the skin of the potatoes in tact. Place the empty potato skins back onto the baking sheet.
- Make the Filling: In the bowl with the potato filling, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, 2 cloves garlic, and green onions. Mix well to combine. In a blender, add the hot water and the raw cashews and blend until it makes a thick creamy sauce. Add this cashew cream to the potato filling as well. Mix in the remaining salt and pepper.
- Fill Potatoes: With a spoon, scoop the filling into each potato. One potato skins have all been filled, place back in the oven for 15 minutes and bake until tops have begun to crisp.
- Remove potatoes from oven and garnish with green onions and paprika, enjoy!
