Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 6 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Vegetables

  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy & Cheese

  • 1/2 cup plant-based cheese, shredded

Liquids & Oils

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Herbs & Spices

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Peel and dice the russet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Boil them in salted water for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain well and keep warm.
  2. Cook the smoked turkey bacon: Heat a large pan over medium heat and cook the chopped smoked turkey bacon until crisp and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  3. Sauté the veggies: In the same pan, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add the diced bell peppers and fresh spinach, cooking until the vegetables are softened but still vibrant.
  4. Combine ingredients: Return the cooked potatoes and turkey bacon to the pan. Add a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural) and season with smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to taste. Stir gently to combine all flavors well.
  5. Add plant-based cheese: Sprinkle the shredded plant-based cheese over the mixture and allow it to melt slightly to create a creamy finish that binds everything together beautifully.
  6. Garnish and serve: Top with fresh chopped parsley and, if desired, a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (natural). Serve warm with optional sides like fresh fruit salad, avocado slices, or toasted plant-based English muffins.

Notes

  • Cut potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and texture.
  • Cook bacon first to render fat, then sauté vegetables in the bacon fat for enhanced flavor.
  • Keep ingredients moving in the pan to avoid steaming and to achieve caramelization.
  • Add fresh herbs like parsley just before serving for brightness and freshness.
  • Adjust apple cider vinegar gradually and taste as you go for perfect tang balance.
