In a large pot boil 2# yukon gold potatoes with skin on until fork tender ~25mins. Allow to slightly cool.

Soak 1c cashews in 1c hot water for ~20mins. Blend cashews in blender with water until smooth. Set aside.

Finely chop 3 shallots. In a small saute pan heat 1tsp olive oil over med heat. Saute chopped shallots until softened. Set aside.

Heat crockpot on warm. Remove skin from potatoes (easiest using a potato ricer).
