5 from 1 rating

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby dutch potatoes or other small potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons vegan cream cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 ounces tempeh bacon* finely chopped, I used Lightlife
  • non-dairy yogurt, chives for topping

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Add the potatoes to a stock pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer until fork tender (approx. 10-15 minutes). Drain and cool until easy to handle.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the top 1/4" portion of each potato off and place in a bowl. Use a small spoon or melon baller to carefully remove the inside of the potatoes and place in the bowl with the tops.** Add the butter, cream cheese and dry seasonings to the potatoes and mash with a fork. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • Place the potato skins on a baking sheet and stuff with the mashed potatoes. Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the tempeh bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the tempeh with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Remove from the potatoes from the oven and top with yogurt, tempeh bacon and chives.

Notes

*If you can't find tempeh bacon, you can also use Bacon Bits - yep, they're vegan!
**Be gentle when removing the insides of the potatoes - the skin can easily break if you are too rough.
