Instructions
- Allow cashews to soak at least 3 hours before making the cashew cream. Alternatively, soak cashews in boiling water for 25 minutes if you are short on time.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a blender, combine soaked and drained cashews with 3 cups of filtered water. Blend on high for 1 minute and strain through a fine mesh strainer, transfer to a medium saucepan. Add shallots, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Gently simmer until shallots are soft, do not boil. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
- Slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick and arrange into greased baking dish, fanning out a handful at a time and placing in the dish at an angle, until dish is covered. Tuck smaller pieces into any gaps. Pour cashew cream mixture over potatoes and cover dish with foil. Bake potatoes until tender, about 60-75 minutes. Remove from oven and heat broiler. Broil until top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Top with more thyme leaves and serve.
