We can’t help but love a savory breakfast, which is exactly why these truffle-Parmesan vegan breakfast potatoes have become a routine staple in the Veganosity households! They’re perfectly salty, umami, and will hold you over till lunch!
When winter rolls around and snow starts to cover the ground, I can’t help but think of hitting the slopes. As kids we made a trip out to Colorado every year to ski and eventually learn how to snowboard. Along with skiing came one other unique Colorado skiing tradition: truffle parmesan fries.
These golden potatoes, piled high with parmesan cheese and truffle oil were sure to warm you up in the middle of a brisk ski session. I thought when I went plant-based I said goodbye to this memory-inducing meal, but a couple weeks ago I decided I couldn’t live without that decadent flavor anymore.
So, I decided to recreate this dish and kill off some of the unhealthy attributes that typically go along with it. Instead of typical cholesterol and animal-fat filled cheese, we whipped up some healthy vegan parm made from cashews and nutritional yeast! Also, did you know that nutritional yeast is full of B-vitamins?
After kicking the cheese to the curb, we opted to roast these potatoes in a tiny bit of olive oil rather than deep frying. Not only does this obviously cut fat, but also calories, leaving you more room to eat additional potatoes!
HOW TO MAKE TRUFFLE-PARMESAN VEGAN BREAKFAST POTATOES
First- Make your vegan Parmesan by combining cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt in a food processor.
Second- Combine the potatoes, vegan parm, truffle oil, olive oil, and other seasonings in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
Third- Roast those babies in the oven!
