Baked Potato with assorted fillings, Convenience-style
7-45 minutes
Time depends on 1. Microwaved (fastest) or oven-baked (longest) 2. How many potatoes are being cooked.
Serves: 1-4
This is another idea for using 'accidentally vegan' products to make a quick meal. Obviously, it's easy to bake a potato from scratch but this is for those of you who are too busy to cook - for this meal at least!
Time factors
- Microwaved. This is fastest but also depends on your microwave's power.
- Oven. This takes longest.
- How many potatoes are being cooked - this applies particularly to microwaved potatoes.
McCain's and Bannister's Farm are the most common brands and you should find these nearly everywhere.
Ingredients:
1 large baked potato per person
Filling ingredients...some ideas to choose from:
- Baked beans
- Vegan Veggie Chilli (eg from a tin or home-made leftovers)
- Vegan Veggie Curry (as above)
- Dhal (as above)
- Hummus
- Garlic mushrooms - roughly chopped up, fried in a little oil, crushed garlic or garlic paste cooked quickly plus a drizzle of soya sauce
- Pasta sauce heated through with chopped flavoured tofu, eg Taifun rosso, smoked or basil
- Stir-fry vegetables and tofu (freshly made or heated up leftovers)
- Vegan cream cheese, eg Sheese, Tesco, Sainsburys, Violife or Tofutti
- Vegan hard cheese, eg Sheese, Tesco, Vbites, Vegusto, Violife

2. Reheat your filling and make the salad and dressing.
3. Cut each potato in half lengthways. Top with filling(s) of your choice. Serve with the dressed salad.
