Note

This recipe yields approximately 2 1/2 cups of sauce.

For best texture, ensure the potatoes and carrots are fully cooked and soft before blending. If using raw cashews, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes prior to blending to ensure a silky consistency.

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
