Ingredients

  • 1 kg potatoes approx. 2.2 lbs, peeled
  • ½ lbs Brussels sprouts shredded
  • 2 red onions small, chopped
  • 1 cup cashews soaked overnight or boiled
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and roughly chop. 
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and boil the potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, until soft. 
  • Meanwhile, in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and Brussels sprouts, along with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegetable broth. Saute until softened, approximately 5 minutes. 
  • While the Brussels sprouts and potatoes cook, make the cashew cream. In a blender, combine 1 cup cashews with a 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 lemon juiced and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until completely smooth. 
  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Once the potatoes are fork tender, drain and mash. Add the Brussels sprouts and cashew cream to the mashed potatoes, and stir until completely combined. 
  • Put the potato mixture into a casserole dish. Top with vegan bread crumbs and/or vegan cheese and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crispy on the top. Serve with your main of choice. 

Notes

  • Got leftover mashed potatoes after Thanksgiving? Now you can make rumbledethumps, mashed potato pancakes, or leftover potato pops!
  • If you don't like sprouts, try this recipe with a different vegetable from the cabbage family: cabbage, kale, broccoli, or cauliflower!
  • If you are allergic to nuts, swap cashews for raw sunflowers. It may be cheaper, too.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs, cornmeal, or fried onions.
