My assistant Dalana is quite creative with presentation of foods she likes and she happens to love scalloped potatoes. If you have not tried them, here’s my vegan scalloped potatoes recipe prepared the classic way.

Some days we chat and bounce off ideas or discuss things we saw somewhere and how we would veganize it. And that’s how talked about a rolled-up potato breakfast and we ended up making these scalloped potato rolls filled with a sausagey lentil filling. Oh my, so delicious. Wait did I tell you that we brush a smoky bacon-ish marinade all over the potatoes! Yes! If you want to elevate your scalloped potatoes, this is it!

Ingredients

5 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

For the filling:

2 teaspoons oil
1/2 cup (80 g) chopped onion
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil or 2-3 tablespoons fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper flakes
15 Oz (30 g) can of lentils, drained, or 1 1/2 cups of cooked lentils
1 cup (250 ml) tomato puree or use pasta sauce or marinara sauce
1 cup frozen spinach thawed and squeezed a little
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the bacon marinade for the potatoes:

1 tablespoon soy sauce , use tamari for gluten-free
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oil

For layering

vegan mozzarella or other vegan cheese as needed

Instructions

Slice your potatoes, if you haven’t already.
Make the bacon marinade by mixing all of the ingredients until well combined.
Line one or two pans with parchment paper. I like to use two small pans which are 8 x 10 -inches or similar sizes so that I can make smaller, burrito-sized rolls.
Sprinkle some vegan mozzarella(optional). Then Line up the potatoes on the baking dishes in an overlapping fashion so that they are at least half overlapped by the other potato on all sides.
Brush the marinade liberally on top of the lined-up potatoes and bake at 400 °F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely golden brown and almost cooked.
In the meanwhile, make your filling; heat up a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until golden and translucent.
Add in all of the herbs,spinach and mix in.
Add in the lentils, and the tomato puree, mix in and bring it to a good boil.
Add in the salt, and pepper, mix in and continue to cook. Make sure to cook until the mixture thickens a little bit. This will take anywhere from 4 minutes to 8 minutes depending on the moisture content of the sauce and the spinach. Take off the heat and let it sit to cool a little bit.
Check on the potatoes. If they’re not done yet, then continue to bake for 5-10 minutes longer. Depending on your oven, the total time is usually between 20-30 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven,loosen them from the parchment sheet, then top them with the cooked lentil and make sure and spread evenly. Top with vegan mozzarella. Use shreds or my cashew mozzarella
Using the parchment sheet, fold the potatoes into a roll over the filling. This is optional. You can just slice and pile the potatoes over 2 to 3-layer deep potatoes and then bake it to make stuffed potato stacks! Bake for 10-15 minutes or until everything is warmed through, cheese melted .
Remove from the oven, and let it cool for a little bit, at least 10 minutes or so. Then using a sharp nice, slice and serve. Or stack and serve.
Serve with some garlic bread or some roasted veggies or soup or as is.

How to make Scalloped Potato Rolls:

Slice your potatoes, if you haven’t already. Make the bacon marinade by mixing all of the ingredients until well combined.
Line one or two pans with parchment paper. Sprinkle some vegan mozzarella (optional).

I like to use two small pans which are 8 x 10 -inches or similar sizes so that I can make smaller, burrito-sized rolls.

Line up the potatoes on the parchment-lined baking dishes in an overlapping fashion so that they are at least half overlapped by the other potato on all sides.

Brush the marinade liberally on top of the lined-up potatoes and bake at 400 °F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely golden brown and almost cooked.

In the meanwhile, make your filling; heat up a skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once hot add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt and cook until golden and translucent.

Add in all of the herbs and spinach and mix in. Add in the lentils, and the tomato puree, mix in, and bring it to a good boil.

Add in the salt, and pepper, mix in and continue to cook. Make sure to cook until the mixture thickens a little bit. This will take anywhere from 3 minutes to 8 minutes depending on the moisture content of the sauce and the spinach.

Take off the heat and let it sit to cool a little bit.

Check on the potatoes. If they’re not done yet, then continue to bake for 5-10 minutes longer. Depending on your oven, the total time is usually between 20-30 minutes.

Remove the potatoes from the oven, loosen them from the parchment sheet, then top them with the cooked lentil and make sure and spread evenly.

Top with some vegan mozzarella

Using the parchment sheet, fold the potatoes into a roll over the filling. (If you don’t want to roll them, just layer one potato layer over the other and bake)

Put them back in the baking dish and bake it for 10-15 minutes or until everything is warm and golden.

Remove from the oven, and let it cool for a little bit, at least 10 minutes or so. Then using a sharp nice, slice and serve.
Serve with some garlic bread or some roasted veggies or soup or as is.
