Ingredients

For the potatoes (& mashed potato filling)

• 6 medium-large russet potatoes
• 1 cup vegan cheddar cheese (I used Gusta)
• 1/2 cup vegan mozzarella cheese (I used Gusta)
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I used Silk)
• 3 tbsp. vegan butter (I used Becel)
• 1 tbsp. garlic powder
• 1 tbsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. chili flakes (optional)
• 1 tsp. parsley
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Olive oil (for drizzling)
• 2 slices of vegan bacon -cubed (I used Happy Veggie World)

For the "Meat"

• 300g vegan ground beef (I used Gardein)
• 1 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1/2 tbsp. liquid smoke
• 1/2 tbsp. cumin
• 1/2 tbsp. parsley
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Wash the potatoes, brush them with oil & wrap them around aluminum foil. Bake until they are tender (around 40-50 minutes).
3. Unwrap and set them aside until they're cold enough for you to handle them with your hands. Let's get the meat done during this time.
4. Heat up a medium sized pan to medium heat, add the meat. Using a wooden spoon, stir the meat, add the the rest of the ingredients and mix until the meat is completely cooked (around 10-15 minutes). Set aside.
5. The potatoes should be cold enough now. Preheat your oven to 450F. Cut the potatoes in halves, using a spoon, scoop the inside of the potato, leaving around 1/2 inch on potato on the skin. Repeat this process with all the potatoes, setting the potato aside.
6. Drizzle oil & sprinkle salt & pepper to taste on the potato skins, bake for 15 minutes.
7. While they're baking, its time to make the mashed potatoes. Grab the potatoes we sat aside, mix the milk, butter, 1/2 of vegan cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of vegan mozzarella cheese and spices. Fold in half of the cooked meat. Set aside until the potato skins are done.
8. Once the potato skins are done, turn the oven to broil at 500F. It's time to ensemble the potatoes.
9. Place 2 tsp. the cooked vegan beef in each potato skin. Scoop around 2 tbsp. of mashed potatoes (or enough to fill them up) and spoon them back into the skins. Add 1 tbsp. of beef on top and 1 tbsp. of vegan cheddar cheese and set back to the baking tray. Repeat the process with the rest of the potatoes. Sprinkle olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
10. Broil the potatoes for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is totally melted. Remove from the oven, top with bacon bites.
11. Serve hot.
