  • 4–6 whole russet potatoes
Preheat the oven to 400. Wash and dry the russet potatoes.
Russet potatoes, skin on
Slice the potatoes, skin on, into thick fries about half an inch or a little more.
Transfer the fries to a large mixing bowl, add the avocado oil (no salt) and toss.
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
Spread the fries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake 60 to 65 minutes.
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1½ cup water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp potato starch
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
Put the cashews, water, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, turmeric, potato starch and nutritional yeast in a blender.
Blend on high until completely smooth; without a high-powered blender, soak the cashews overnight first.
Transfer the cheese sauce to a small saucepan.
  • hot water
Five to seven minutes before the fries are done, warm the sauce over medium heat with a splash of hot water, whisking constantly, about a minute or two; do not boil. Overcooked it turns goopy; add a little more hot water.
Plate the fries with the cheese sauce.
