Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 3 medium russet potatoes, diced into small cubes
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Dice the russet potatoes into small cubes. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes.
- Cook smoked turkey bacon: While potatoes are roasting, pan-fry the smoked turkey bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and roughly chop once cool enough to handle.
- Sauté aromatics: In the same pan, add a splash of olive oil and sauté minced garlic and diced onions until translucent and fragrant, building a flavorful aromatic base.
- Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl or pan, combine the roasted potatoes, chopped bacon, and sautéed onion-garlic mixture. Toss with vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Add plant-based cheese and herbs: Sprinkle shredded plant-based cheese over the hot mixture, allowing it to melt slightly. Finish by folding in freshly chopped parsley and chives for fresh herbal notes.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into even cubes to ensure uniform roasting.
- Use a hot pan to crisp smoked turkey bacon quickly and lock in flavor.
- Fresh herbs add brightness to balance richness; do not skip them.
- Roast potatoes the night before to save time in the morning.
- Taste the combined mixture before adding cheese to avoid over-salting.
