Easy Cheezey Potatoes
From Whole Food Goodness
This is a recipe I created to satisfy my husbands love of potatoes and meet some nutritional needs all at the same time. Blending cauliflower into a creamy sauce is a “sneaky” way to get cruciferous vegetables into your kids diet….or your husbands! Often I will substitute 2 cups of the potatoes for 2 cups of steamed broccoli. This adds even more of those anti cancer compounds.
6 cups red potatoes cut into bite size pieces
1/2 head cauliflower (keep in large florets)
(It should be enough for 2 cups blended)
1 medium carrot cut in chunks
1/2 cup water or soy milk
1/4 cup sunflower seeds or cashews
1/2 tsp Real Salt or sea salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
3-4 Tbsp lemon juice
1 bag of frozen peas thawed
Place potatoes in the bottom of a steamer basket. Lay cauliflower and carrots on top. Steam until tender. Scoop out cauliflower and carrots and blend with remaining ingredients except for peas. Transfer potatoes to a serving dish. Pour sauce over potatoes and stir in peas. Mix well and serve. Serves 4–6
Serves 6 – 8.
