Ingredients
Scale
Meats and Cheese
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
Vegetables
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into small cubes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Oils and Sauces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tbsp grape juice
Spices and Seasonings
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Start by chopping the Yukon gold potatoes into small cubes, ensuring they cook quickly and evenly. Rinse and pat them dry thoroughly to achieve a crispy texture when cooked.
- Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon and Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped smoked turkey bacon pieces and cook until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet with the rendered fat, sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell peppers until softened and fragrant.
- Crisp the Potatoes: Add the prepared potatoes to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Season with smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir occasionally, allowing the potatoes to develop a golden, crispy crust and cook through evenly over medium heat.
- Combine and Add Flavors: Return the cooked smoked turkey bacon to the skillet. Drizzle in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) and grape juice, then stir everything together to meld the flavors over the heat.
- Finish with Plant-Based Cheese and Parsley: Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded plant-based cheese over the top. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the dish warm in bowls.
Notes
- Choose Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to crisp well.
- Dry potatoes thoroughly before cooking for maximum crispiness.
- Cook bacon first to use rendered fat for extra flavor in the vegetables and potatoes.
- Cook potatoes on medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Use fresh herbs like parsley or chives to brighten the dish.
- Feel free to add plant-based sour cream or sliced green onions as garnishes.
- This dish pairs well with buttered plant-based toast or fresh fruit salad.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers refrigerated up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or microwave with a splash of water.
- Freeze portions in freezer-safe containers and thaw in the fridge before reheating.
