Joseph's brothers didn't recognize him, even though he recognized them.

Probably due to the age difference. Joseph had a 'young person's' features, but was now a mature man.

Genesis 42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


The fact that his brothers didn't know him, enabled Joseph to use this to his advantage

Genesis 42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


Genesis 42:10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


The brothers denied his allegations;

But Joseph kept up the pretense, saying he didn't believe them

Genesis 42:11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.

12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
 Quoting: b4its2l8


Joseph was going to use food as leverage to see his younger brother Benjamin; telling them they won't get anything until they bring their brother back to prove they aren't spies:

Genesis 42:13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:

15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
