Baked Potatoes With Cheese Sauce Food

NEW POTATOES WITH CHEDDAR CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water and cook for about 15 mins until tender. Meanwhile, heat the milk in a saucepan, then set aside. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over a low heat. Stir in the flour and the mustard powder, cook for 1 min or so, then start to ladle in the hot milk, stirring as you pour, until it's all added. Cook for a further 10 mins until you have a smooth sauce. Stir in most of the cheddar until fully melted into the sauce. Season with the paprika, cayenne and a little salt and pepper.
• Put the potatoes in a small ovenproof dish, spoon over the cheese sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar. Can be prepared a day ahead and kept covered in the fridge. Place in the oven alongside the fish and cook until bubbling and golden.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
• Arrange sliced potatoes in the casserole dish; season with salt.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour until a paste forms. Pour in milk gradually, stirring constantly, until a thick white sauce forms, about 5 minutes. Stir in cheese and remove from heat. Pour sauce over the potatoes.

LOADED BAKED POTATO WITH CASHEW CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the loaded baked potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Using the tip of a knife or a fork, poke each potato 2 to 3 times. Place directly on the oven rack and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender and the skins are crispy, 55 to 60 minutes.
• For the cashew cheese sauce: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the cashews, carrots, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 cups cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Carefully add the warm cashew mixture, including the liquid, to a blender. Add the nutritional yeast, lemon juice and salt to taste. Blend on high speed, adding more water if necessary, until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
• After the potatoes have been cooking for about 35 minutes, prepare the broccoli. Spread the florets on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Roast until tender and starting to brown, about 20 minutes, then set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, add the bacon and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain. Roughly chop the bacon into small pieces or julienne and set aside.
• Cut a lengthwise slit in the top of each potato and gently push the ends toward the center to open up the potatoes. Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork, if you like. Drizzle some of the cashew cheese sauce into each potato. Top each potato with broccoli, more cashew cheese sauce, bacon and chives.
