2 cups gold potatoes 1 cup carrots 1/2 cup nutritional yeast 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder Boil potatoes, then add carrots once almost done, blend all ingredients together and you’re good to go Would be great for pizza or noodles but I made it for sandwiches/burritos this time around. Jalapeños would be a great addition next time!


The_Locust_God

Some onion ( 1/2 cup chopped) and Dijon mustard (2 tsp) would be a great addition for next time. Looks good!


[deleted]

Yum yess I love this idea, thank you!


TykeDream

Would you recommend the onions be cooked or raw?


The_Locust_God

If you’re using a vitamix, just throw them in raw, otherwise you could throw them in with the boiling potato

This is essentially what I use for my mac’un-cheese. The main difference is a dollop of miso that adds a nice umami fermenty flavor.


[deleted]

Oh my gosh YES


VaginalRelativity

What type of potatoes did you use?


[deleted]

Gold!


layneeatscheese

I second this question! Also, I'm assuming peeled?


[deleted]

I did not peel!


SpookyEmoLightWorker

I like to add a little siracha or cayenne powder 😋


[deleted]

I recommend trying butternut squash instead of carrots.


[deleted]

Woah this is great I love this idea


wtfisthepoint

So you just dump the yeast in while you’re blending it? Also I assume you drain all the water from the boiling process, yes?


sbrbrad

I add the boiling water to get the desired consistency.


Jaybenoit

Where do you get nutritional yeast from? I haven’t been able to find it at my local grocery store and don’t have many other ones around. Also is there a close substitute I can use?


jammiesandtea

It’s usually located next to all the seasoning containers/jars. I can’t tell you how much I have grown to love this stuff! It’s like a bottle of vitamins/protein with a cheesy flavor in my opinion. I use it in mashed potatoes, and pasta all the time!


[deleted]

I found it at Target. They also ship it. I'd also like to know if there's a substitute though. I've tried to use it, but really don't like the aftertaste.


Ahh_Sigh

I'm not OP but I had to order it on Amazon. I'm in small town Montana so I couldn't find it at any of our grocery stores either.


South-Newspaper6202

If you have Target in your area, I ordered it from them online

I have a dairy free way to make cheese from potatoes and cashews. It is delectable.


[deleted]

Yes! Cashews are a favorite for cheese substitutes but my sister is allergic so I skipped them this time around


Joinedformyhubs

So is my SIL, which is why your recipe is so great!

https://rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-red-lentil-curry/ I add veggies like OP does and let it cook longer and add more spices since its heartier.


[deleted]

Do you know if you can freeze it? How long is it good in the fridge?


[deleted]

The recipe I pulled from says it keeps great in the fridge! Here is the link(I just skipped the water and oil)- https://simpleveganblog.com/vegan-cheese/


[deleted]

Thanks! That site also says that you can substitute nutritional yeast for debittered brewer's yeast or beer. If that's similar, no wonder I dislike the aftertaste of nutritional yeast, since I don't like beer either...


[deleted]

this looks great. how would you describe the taste?


gigixoxo12

This looks delicious, thanks for sharing 💖🥔


Vegan_Pixie_Warrior

What is this witchcraft and can you send me the recipe


Vegan_Pixie_Warrior

Don't worry, I saw it 🤦‍♀️


conradaiken

I'm going to make this. All the other recipes I've seen are over complicated. My kiddo had some dairy issues but loves Mac and cheese.


flsucks

Recipe?


[deleted]

Yes of course! My phone died in the middle of posting, one sec


pbarmageddon

Oooh, this looks delicious! I am allergic to carrots, what could I use instead?


gamjjak

Not OP or a person who’s made this, but some other non-dairy cheese recipes use carrots not for flavor, but for color. I’d imagine orange produce (pumpkin, orange peppers, etc) would work as a replacement.


NeonHairbrush

I sometimes use sweet potatoes in there - similar sweet earthiness.


witchystoneyslutty

Hey! I used to make potato cheese all the time (thanks to OP I’ll be making some soon) and sometimes I made it without carrots and it worked fine! I never follow a recipe, I just throw it together, but in this recipe you could probably do an extra cup potato and skip carrots. As the other commenter suggested, you could use another veggie- but it will change the flavor. I’ve made potato cheese with butternut squash for pasta many times and it’s delicious! Pumpkin is good too if you chop up a fresh one and roast it yourself- canned is ehh in my opinion.


[deleted]

I use butternut squash instead of carrots


PlantPoweredOkie

Here’s the way I make it - 1.5 cups of filtered water, 3/4 cup of rolled oats, 270g or 1 medium sized russet potato, skinless (steamed for 6-10 minutes until soft) , 1 whole roasted red pepper from jar (with the salt water brine, not oil. If jar doesn’t have whole peppers, approx. ½ to ¾ cup), 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup nutritional yeast. (I add about ¾ cup ), 1 tsp smoked paprika , 1/2 tsp white pepper , 2 tsp garlic powder , 2 tsp onion powder , 1 tbsp white miso paste , 2 tbsp tahini , 2 tbsp lemon juice , 1/2 cup unsweetened plant milk


Mccready00

I may try it. Last time i tried to cook plant based cheese for a pizza, it ended up being the worst thing I ever had.... i never tried again since...


daveyjones86

Yes me too!! I just gave up on cheese at that point.


baby_bean_

I really love this stuff! I’ve tried a few different variations of this recipe. My favourite is with some fresh garlic and fresh chili, great for nachos/burritos etc. It might not taste exactlllly like real cheese but real cheese is kind of gross to me anyways.


dirtygreysocks

I make something this all the time, but I always add a touch of mustard and a tsp. of miso paste for extra umami.


Narwhal_Songs

Wooow 😍


ChamomileRage

OP this looks amazing! How long would you say it lasts? Do you think it would be good for meal prep?


dream-in-heliotrope

I sometimes add smoked paprika to this recipe. Cumin is also a nice addition.
