"If you haven't heard of the spice, no worries. Basically, nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast made from cane or beet sugar. It comes dried in light yellow flakes or a tan powder, and is known for its savory taste as a cheese alternative, its high B vitamin content, and inclusion in many plant-based recipes, from sauces to vegan tacos. When used to coat spuds before baking them in the oven, nutritional yeast imparts a balanced, savory, nutty flavor."
"To add the spice to your fries, all you need to do is toss sliced potatoes in olive oil, sprinkle in a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast, and coat them well. A little bit of umami from the nutritional yeast goes a long way to enhance and deepen the other spices and seasonings you toss your sliced potatoes with, including smoked paprika and oregano."
Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast made from cane or beet sugar, sold as light yellow flakes or tan powder and used as a savory, cheese-like flavoring and source of B vitamins. Coating potatoes with nutritional yeast before baking or sprinkling it on hot fried or air-fried fries adds umami, savory, and nutty notes that deepen other seasonings such as smoked paprika and oregano. For best results, toss potato wedges or strips in olive oil then coat with a few tablespoons of nutritional yeast before baking, or add the yeast after frying. Yukon Gold yields crisp steak fries, while sweet potatoes create a sweet-savory balance.
