Twice Baked Potato Skins

 Potato skins are the perfect comfort food and the good thing is that as a vegan you can enjoy them without all the cruelty and fat that comes in typical American potato skins. I first saw this recipe on youtube posted by ThatVeganCouple. I tweeked it a little bit for my liking and we ate the entire batch in one night!

Ingredients:

Cheese sauce:

2 potatoes for the cheese sauce

1 cup of carrots

2 cups of non dairy milk

1 cup of nutritional yeast

cumin
garlic
salt and pepper

As many potatoes as you like I cooked 8

1 pack of vegan smart bacon (optional)

1 red pepper

1/2 yellow onion

1 stalk of green onion

1 can of organic corn

2 tbsp. of nutritional yeast

2 tbsp. of bbq sauce

1tbsp of soy sauce

Salt and pepper

garlic

Directions:

1. Bake potatoes at 375 degrees for one hour and let them cool down

2. Slice potatoes in half the long way and scoop out the insides of potato with a spoon and place insides in a large mixing bowl

3. Dice red bell pepper and onion, half of the green onions, and corn and mix in bowl with potatoes

4. Add bbq sauce, soy sauce, garlic, 2 tbsp. of nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to potatoes and mix

5. Stuff the mixture into the empty potato skins and place on baking sheet

6. Slice vegan bacon into tiny strips and put on top of the potato skins

7. Bake at 375 for an additional 30 minutes

8. For the cheese sauce steam 2 potatoes and cup of carrots for about 30 minutes or until tender.

9. Place potatoes and carrots in blender with nutritional yeast, non dairy milk, cumin, salt, and pepper and blend until you have a queso consistency, adjust milk and seasonings as necessary.

10. Remove potato skins from oven and top with cheese mixture and extra green onion.

11. Serve and enjoy!

I recommend you make more than what you think you will eat because these things are extremely addictive. The best thing about them is they are low in fat and if you skip the vegan bacon there is nothing processed about it so you can eat as many as you want!
