Instructions
Instructions
1. Put the potatoes, onion, and cashews in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook just until the potatoes are tender, 10–15 minutes. Drain and allow to cool slightly.
2. Transfer the potatoes, onion, and cashews to a high-powered blender. Add the garlic, milk, yogurt, wine, miso paste, vinegar, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, tapioca starch, salt, and mustard and blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and whisk over medium-high heat until thick and bubbly. It will appear to get lumpy at first, but it will become evenly thickened after 4–5 minutes.
4. Pour the “cheese” mixture into a fondue pot or a small slow cooker and heat on low to keep it warm. Serve with your favorite dippers.
