Instructions
Peel potatoes and slice thinly.
Add to a pan without enough water to roughly cover, and a good pinch of salt.
Bring to the boil then simmer for about 15 minutes, until potatoes are soft enough to pierce gently with a fork.
Meanwhile, drain the soaked cashews and add to a food processor with 8 tablespoons of water.
Blend until completely smooth (you may need to mix it a couple of times).
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain away the water and, keeping the potatoes in the pan, add the blended cashew nuts and salt + pepper to taste.
Use a potato masher to mash the potatoes until completely smooth.
Add extra suggested flavourings if desired*.
Best enjoyed immediately!
