Ingredients

  • 8 ounces fingerling potatoes
  • 1½ cups raw cashews, soaked in warm water
  • ¾ cup reserved soaking water
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons sauerkraut
  • 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup vegan dry white wine
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons tapioca powder
  • Salt, optional
  • For suggested dippers
  • Cubed vegan bread
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Chopped roasted or steamed veggies, such as carrot
  • mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower
  • or even potatoes or sweet potatoes
  • Fresh fruit, such as apple or pear slices or grape

Instructions

  • Place the fingerling potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Boil until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a blender along with the cashews, reserved soaking water, nutritional yeast, sauerkraut, coconut oil, onion powder, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth, then transfer to the medium pot.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the wine and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • In a cup or small bowl, whisk together the water and tapioca powder. Add to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, until the fondue is thick and glossy.
  • Add salt, if desired. Remove from the heat and transfer to a double boiler or a fondue pot over a tea light candle. Serve immediately with the dippers of your choice. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for 1 to 2 days.
