Ingredients:
- 6-8 golden potatoes
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Pesto Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cup fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup cashews (or pine nuts)

Directions:
1. Boil the potatoes until they are soft, then drain them and let cool a little.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. On a parchment lined baking tray, smash the potatoes using the bottom of a jar/mug.

6. Once the potatoes are golden, serve by spreading a generous amount of pesto on top and a little extra vegan parmesan!
