How to make Twice Baked Potato Casserole

First of all, preheat your oven to 350°F. Set a baking sheet with parchment paper aside. Also make sure that you have a 10 inch round casserole dish for later greased with vegan butter.

Now we are going yo prepare the first potato baking.

In a bowl, mix potato cubes (after peeling) with 1/4 cup olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Place together with diced onions on the baking sheet but do not mix. Roast all for around 25 minutes until the potatoes are soft enough to mash them.

Step 6: Transfer to baking dish and back into the oven.

While the potatoes are roasting, heat 1 Tbs olive oil in a skillet. Add vegan bacon cut in fine cubes and fry for around 5 minutes until it is crunchy. Set aside.

When the potatoes and onions done, transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Pre-mash them coarsely, then add vegan cream cheese, nutmeg, vegan butter, almond milk to it. Press 5 cloves of garlic and  season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Now with the liquid ingredients, mash everything with a potato masher or hand blender. When done mix roughly in the onions, half of the vegan bacon, and half of the vegan cheddar.

Freezing: It will last for 3 months, but the texture and taste will be a bit different. Always make sure to cool completely before freezing.

Add fresh scallions as a topping.
