Ingredients
- 6 small red potatoes, sliced into discs
- 30 g (1 oz/½ cup) nutritional yeast
- ½ tablespoon onion powder
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- 6 spring onions (scallions), diced
- Sauces (choose one)
- 300 g (101/2 oz) silken tofu (1 packet) or 1 x 400 g (14 oz) tin salt-free white beans, drained
- ½ cauliflower, steamed or 60 g (2 oz/½ cup) walnuts
- 1 potato, peeled and steamed
Instructions
-
Step 1
Steam the potatoes in a steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water until soft, about 15–20 minutes. Set aside. If you’re making the cauliflower sauce, steam the cauliflower the same way, then set aside.
-
Step 2
Choose what sauce you would like to make. If you’re using the bean or walnut sauces, combine the ingredients with 125 ml (4 fl oz/1/2 cup) water. For all sauces, add the nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, then blitz in a highspeed blender until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan set over a medium heat and stir until hot.
-
Step 3
Place the steamed potatoes in a baking dish and pour your chosen sauce on top. Scatter over the spring onions and serve hot.
