Vegan Loaded Potato Skins

December 26, 2016 by Epicurean Vegan

Loaded Potato Skins -- Epicurean Vegan

These loaded potato skins will be the real MVP on game day. And who needs sour cream when you can use cashew cheese? So much tastier and a great source of protein, too. I made large tater skins, but feel free to cut these in half for a more bite-sized snack.

INGREDIENTS:
12 russet potatoes
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
12 slices of veggie bacon, cooked and chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1 C raw, unsalted cashews, soaked overnight or in hot water for at least an hour
3/4 C water
1 garlic clove
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
3/4 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 400. Scrub the potatoes, dry them, and then brush with olive oil. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and pierce each one 3-4 times with a fork. Bake 40-50 minutes, so until they are tender.

Meanwhile, drain the cashews and transfer to a food processor with the garlic, water, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Blend for a few minutes, or until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.

Once they’ve cooled, slice each potato in half and scoop out the inside; but leave about a 1/4″ around the edges.

I made batch a mashed potatoes with the scooped out potato. A two-for-one recipe!

Brush the skins again with a little olive oil and then sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place face-down on the baking sheet and bake another 8-10 minutes. Flip each one over and load with a scoop of cashew cheese, chopped veggie bacon, and sliced green onion. Enjoy!

You better add these to your list of game day snacks. Who needs sour cream when you can use cashew cheese? So much tastier and a great source of protein, too. I made large tater skins, but feel free to cut these in half for a more bite-sized snack.

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
