Delicious, warm and filling, these purple sweet potatoes baked in a rich vegan cheesy sauce are a wonderfully nourishing and hearty dish. Cheesy goodness without the dairy, this dish is suitable for all.
The vegan cheesy sauce takes only about 2-3 minutes to make, so this recipe really is time conscious! To help speed up the process of cooking your potatoes, you should wrap your hasselback potatoes in kitchen roll and microwave them before placing them in your cheese sauce and popping them in the oven. This helps your potatoes cook much quicker and helps reduce time in the kitchen!
