- When water is boiling add the potatoes, cover with lid and set timer for 15 minutes
- During cooking time you will need to lessen heat so potatoes don't boil over
- Preheat 220℃ oven
- Potatoes need to be very soft for mashing, and if done, pour out water (keep it for making cashew cream)
- Potatoes back into pot, lid on and now blend cashews with water at highest speed for 90 seconds
- Start mashing up potatoes, add cashew cream (depending on type of potato you might not need all of the cream) and a dab of butter. Add salt, nutmeg and pepper to your taste.
- If using separate frying pan, transfer thickened lentils to casserole. Lentils are the base layer
- Top with mashed potatoes
- Into oven for 10-15 minutes until mash is a bit browned at peaks
- If lentils are a bit liquidy you can use hot-air oven, then please turn down to 200℃
