Ready for a melty and stretchy vegan potato cheese recipe? Yes, you read well, made with potatoes!
I love healthy and versatile recipes like this one that can be used as a sauce for snacks and as an ingredient for sandwiches (try it with a grilled cheese sandwich!), and since this cheese is stretchy, it’s also ideal for pizzas or lasagnas.
INGREDIENTS
You’ll only need six ingredients for this easy recipe, and it’s an excellent option for those looking for a Gluten-Free, Nut-free, Soy-free, and Oil-free cheese recipe:
- The base and most important ingredient is potatoes (I love Yukon gold potatoes).
- The liquid ingredients are aquafaba and lemon juice.
- For the texture, you’ll need arrowroot, which acts as a thickening agent as well as helping the cheese melt.
- And finally, for the flavor: nutritional yeast (cheesy flavor) and salt and pepper. And, of course, you can add your favorite spices and create your own version.
No fancy equipment is required, just a blender or food processor. I used a bullet blender for this cheese.

RECIPE AND INSTRUCTIONS
VEGAN POTATO CHEESE EASY RECIPE
Equipment
- Blender/Food processor
Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- ¼ cup aquafaba
- 2 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp arrowroot * See notes below
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes with the skin until the potatoes are done (about 20 minutes). Test the doneness by poking the potato with a fork, and they should be tender all the way through.
- Peel the potatoes still warm (be careful), and add them to the food processor or blender with the rest of the cheese ingredients. Process until getting a sticky mixture, similar to melted cheese.
- Use it right away or keep it up to 3-4 days in the fridge, in an airtight container.
- Enjoy it in pizzas, sandwiches, and recipes calling for melted cheese. It’s super healthy and easy to prepare!
Notes
- *Arrowroot can be replaced by tapioca starch.
- After being refrigerated, the cheese becomes a little firmer (but still soft) as a block, but you can melt it again using heat. If you want it well melted for sandwiches, microwave it for about 20 seconds.
