Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into rounds
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Proteins

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based cheese (plant-based), shredded or sliced

Condiments & Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Caramelized Onions: Slice the yellow onions thinly. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the onions. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden brown and sweetly caramelized.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a separate pan, cook the smoked turkey bacon over medium heat until golden and slightly crispy. Drain excess fat, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  3. Boil and Slice Potatoes: Peel and boil russet potatoes in salted water until tender but firm when pierced. Cool slightly, then slice into even rounds for uniform layering.
  4. Combine and Season: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the potato slices with caramelized onions, turkey bacon pieces, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil if desired for extra shine and flavor.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer the potato mixture and sprinkle plant-based cheese (plant-based) between layers for a melty texture. Dissolve the natural gelling agent in warm water and drizzle a small amount on top to bind the ingredients gently. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden on top.

Notes

  • Allow onions to caramelize fully to develop signature flavor.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform potato slices to ensure even cooking.
  • Distribute ingredients evenly when layering for balanced bites.
  • Choose quality plant-based cheese (plant-based) for better melting and texture.
  • Add fresh thyme just before baking to preserve aroma and flavor.
