    Ingredients
      

    • 4 Medium Organic Russet Potatoes
    • 1 cup Avocado / Olive Oil
    • Pinch Himalayan / Sea Salt
    • 1 cup Mushroom Gravy
    • 1 cup Cashew / Nut Cheese (cubed)

    Instructions
     

    • Peel the potatoes (if they're not organic or if preferred, I left some skin on mine).
    • Slice the potatoes to your desired thickness.
    • Pour the oil in a large frying pan and heat over medium-high heat.
    • Add a handful of sliced potatoes, enough to fill the pan but leaving some space to flip them (you may need to do them in a few batches).
    • Fry the potatoes until they become golden brown or to your desired crispiness.
    • Place the fries on a cooling rack to catch the grease.
    • Heat gravy in a saucepan, if necessary.
    • Add fries to a bowl or plate, pour the mushroom gravy over and top with cubed cashew cheese (or cheese of choice).
