Instructions
Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425F and spray your cast iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Once you've sliced your potatoes, dump them into a bowl fulled with ice water. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, then remove to a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
  3. Layer your potatoes around the skillet, filling it up completely. It's okay to let them overlap a little but, but not too much, otherwise your potatoes won't crisp up as well.
  4. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender and have browned nicely. Remove from the oven.
  5. At this point, you can take the potatoes out to individual plates and then add your toppings, or you can leave them in the skillet, add the toppings, and scoop some out for each person. It's messy, but it's fun! Top with nacho cheese, taco meat, your toppings of choice (I used tomatoes, olives and green onions), a drizzle of cashew cream and some guacamole.
Taco Meat
  1. Add drained walnuts, drained sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper to a food processor and process until combined, but still a bit chunky.
Nacho Cheese Sauce
  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor or high-powdered blender and process/blend until smooth.
  2. Pout mixture into a medium pot over medium heat and warm it up for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Cashew Cream
  1. Add drained cashews and a bit of water to a food processor or high-powdered blender and process/blend until smooth. Add more water if you need it, to get it to your desired consistency.
Guacamole
  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth or a bit chunky (whatever you prefer).
