METHOD

1. Boil the potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
2. Prep other ingredients: While the potatoes are boiling, chop the spring onions, herbs, red onion and celery, slice the garlic, and measure the remaining ingredients so they’re ready to use. Place the cashews in a bowl and pour the water over them.
3. Make the S.O.S. Free sauce: Dry fry the pepitas and sliced garlic in a non-stick pan on medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, in a high-speed blender add all the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
4. Assemble: When the potatoes are ready, remove from heat, drain, and add cold water to cool them a little then drain again. Add the potatoes, spring onion, herbs, red onion and sauce to a large bowl. Combine gently ensuring all potato cubes are covered in the sauce. Enjoy!
