These potato wedges and queso are the perfect appetizer for everyone! Our vegan friends can also enjoy this dish, as the queso is made with white beans. You will use red potatoes, which have a slightly sweet flavor. The waxy texture of these potatoes helps them stay firm and crunchy when baking!

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 Tablespoons liquid smoke
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained
  • 4 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
