A deliciously crispy potato bake that's like a cross between scalloped potatoes and a giant hashbrown! Thinly sliced potatoes are coated in a seasoned batter and baked until golden, creating crispy edges and tender centers. This versatile dish works great as a side or can be turned into a main by rolling it up with your favorite toppings. Perfect for brunches, dinners, or whenever you're craving something hearty and satisfying!

Instructions

  1. First up, let's prep those potatoes! Peel them and use a mandoline or kitchen slicer to get nice, even slices - this is key for even cooking and that perfect texture we're after.
  2. Give your potato slices a good wash until the water runs clear - this removes excess starch and helps them get super crispy. Pop them in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least an hour. Trust me, this step is worth it!
  3. When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  4. While the oven's heating up, let's make our batter. In a large bowl, combine your flour, water, salt, and all those lovely seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, vegetable seasoning, and both paprikas). Whisk until you've got a smooth batter - think pancake batter consistency.
  5. Drain those soaked potatoes really well. Nobody likes a watery potato bake!
  6. Add the drained potatoes to your batter along with the shredded vegan cheese. Give everything a gentle mix until all the potato slices are evenly coated.
  7. Line a baking dish with parchment paper and give it a light spray of oil. This will help you get that gorgeous crispy bottom.
  8. Spread your potato mixture evenly in the dish - try to get the surface as level as you can. Give the top a light spray of oil too.
  9. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until you've got a beautiful golden brown top and the potatoes are tender when you poke them with a fork.

Serving Suggestions Instructions

  1. Want to serve it as a side dish? Just cut it into portions and serve hot - it's perfect alongside your favorite main dish.
  2. For a main course twist, try this: while it's still warm, spread some vegan cream cheese or yogurt over the top, then carefully roll it up using the parchment paper to help you (just like a Swiss roll!). Slice and serve - it looks super impressive!
  3. Some tasty topping ideas: vegan sour cream, chopped chives, extra cheese, or your favorite hot sauce.
  4. Got leftovers? They'll keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to get that crispiness back!
