- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Cashew Cream: In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Layer the Potatoes: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Pour half of the cashew cream over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cream, making sure to evenly distribute the sauce.
