Potatoes get such a bad rap these days!

Here’s the tater truth: potatoes aren’t bad for you — it’s what you put on the potatoes (or how you prepare them) that’s bad. I’m talking about butter, cream and deep frying them.

One of our favorite things to make are oven-roasted potatoes, especially potato wedges. While they’re good on their own, spuds are always better with a dippable friend.

Enter cashew sour cream!

Unlike regular cashew cream made from dairy, this cashew sour cream is made from plants. It also contains a boost of plant-based protein courtesy of our Skinny Protein mix.

And don’t think this cashew sour cream is just for potato wedges! It also tastes great on baked potatoes or you can even use it as a veggie dip.
