Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Bacon

  • 3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cubed with skins on
  • 8 ounces smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Sauce

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Topping

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on to add texture and nutrients. This helps ensure even cooking and allows the potatoes to absorb flavors better.
  2. Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine chicken broth, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), onion powder (natural), garlic powder (natural), salt, black pepper, and the natural gelling agent. Stir thoroughly until the gelling agent is fully dissolved, creating a smooth and flavorful sauce base.
  3. Layer Ingredients in the Crock Pot: Place the cubed potatoes into the crock pot first. Top evenly with chopped smoked turkey bacon. Pour the prepared sauce over the potatoes and bacon, making sure the potatoes are mostly submerged to cook evenly and soak in the flavors.
  4. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6 to 7 hours. The potatoes should become fork-tender, and the sauce will thicken and bubble, melding all the smoky and creamy flavors together.
  5. Add Plant-Based Cheese: Approximately 15 minutes before serving, evenly sprinkle the shredded plant-based cheese over the top. Cover again and let the cheese melt, forming a luscious and creamy finishing layer to the dish.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into even cubes to ensure consistent cooking throughout.
  • Layer turkey bacon on top of potatoes to infuse smoky flavors gradually without overpowering the dish.
  • Add the natural gelling agent to the sauce mixture at the beginning for ideal texture and thickness.
  • Give the mixture a gentle stir halfway through cooking to distribute flavors without breaking the potatoes.
  • Add plant-based cheese near the end of cooking to keep it melty and prevent overcooking.
