“Cheesy” Twice-Baked Potatoes w/ “Bacon” Bits

June 7, 2016 by Samuel Warde 1 Comment

Cheesy-Twice-Baked-Potaotes-Vegan

What’s better than a baked potato? A twice-baked potato, of course! I have no idea who invented twice-baked potatoes, but that person was/is a genius. Thank you, whoever you are. It’s not uncommon for twice-baked potatoes to be stuffed or topped with meat and cheese, so we wanted to do our own vegan take on that, hence these “cheesy” potatoes with “bacon” bits. The cheese is made from nutritional yeast, and the bacon bits are tiny flakes of texturized vegetable protein.

These potatoes make a great appetizer or side dish, but we actually ate them for dinner the other night because they were quite filling and satisfying. If you want to jazz them up even more, you can top them off with a dollop of vegan sour cream and some chives. I ate mine that way with a splash of hot sauce and a squirt of lime, and it was awesome! Either way, these potatoes blow away ordinary baked potatoes. No contest.

"Cheesy" Vegan Twice-Baked Potatoes w/ "Bacon" Bits

Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • For the bacon
  • 1/2 cup tvp soaked
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees and place potatoes on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake them for 45 minutes until they are soft.
  3. If you are short on time, you can microwave them for 10 minutes until they are soft.
  4. Meanwhile, you can saute the tvp with a little bit of oil, liquid smoke, salt, and soy sauce over medium-high heat.
  5. Saute until browned, stirring occasionally.
  6. Once the potatoes are done and cooled, you can spoon the middle part out and put them in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients for the filling and mash together with a potato masher until creamy.
  7. Add half of the bacon bits to the mixture and stir together.
  8. Scoop the mixture into the potato skins.
  9. If you would like, you can add some bread crumbs on top of the potato skins and bake them until they are brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining bacon bits.
