    METHOD

    Cover the fingerling potatoes with water in a medium pot. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Remove from the heat and set aside to drain. Combine the potatoes, cashews, reserved soaking water, nutritional yeast, sauerkraut, coconut oil, onion powder, and garlic powder in a blender. Transfer to a medium pot after blending until smooth. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until thoroughly heated, about 5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook for another 5 minutes after adding the wine.

    Whisk together the water and tapioca powder in a cup or small bowl. Cook, stirring constantly, until the fondue thickens and becomes glossy. If desired, season with salt. Remove from the heat and place over a tea light candle in a double boiler or fondue pot. Serve immediately with your preferred dippers. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
