- 5 medium potatoes (about 22 oz.) If you want it to be faster, you can also use store-bought southern style hash browns instead.
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 10 oz silken tofu
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 pinch kala namak
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon fresh or frozen chives, cut into rings
- 1/2 cup vegan cheese
- 5 oz tempeh
- 1 tablespoon BBQ-sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional)
- more vegan cheese to sprinkle on top
- fresh chives
- cherry tomatoes
- green onions
Instructions
- Boil the unpeeled potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they're tender. Peel and cut them into cubes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, make the BBQ tempeh "bacon": Cut the tempeh into small cubes. Heat some more oil in the pan you used for the potatoes and cook the remaining onions for about a minute. Add the tempeh and stir in the BBQ sauce, the paprika powder, the soy sauce, and if using the liquid smoke. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Heat some oil in a large pan and cook about half of the chopped onions for about 2 minutes or until translucent. Add the potatoes and season with paprika powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes or until crispy and lightly brown. Set aside. If you want the recipe to be a bit quicker, you can also use store-bought southern style hash browns.
- In a medium bowl, combine the silken tofu, the oil, the starch, the turmeric, the paprika powder and the kala namak. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the vegan cheese and the chives.
- Fill the potatoes and the BBQ tempeh into a casserole dish and stir in the vegan egg-cheese mixture. Sprinkle with some more vegan cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 °F.
- Serve with fresh chives, parsley, and cherry tomatoes.
