Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup shredded plant-based cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes very thin, approximately 1/8 inch thick to ensure even cooking and a crispy edge.
- Lay Out the Slices: Arrange the potato slices vertically and slightly overlapping in a baking dish, mimicking domino pieces lined up. This layout helps the potatoes bake uniformly and create the signature domino effect.
- Season and Add Flavors: Drizzle olive oil evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle garlic powder (natural), freshly chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper to taste. Add small pieces of smoked turkey bacon scattered around the potatoes for a smoky flavor infusion.
- Layer the Plant-Based Cheese: Scatter shredded or thinly sliced plant-based cheese on top, allowing it to melt into the gaps and layers between the potatoes for creamy richness.
- Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the potatoes uncovered for 45-55 minutes until tender inside and edges turn golden brown. For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler for 2-3 minutes while monitoring closely to prevent burning.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin potato slices and consistent cooking results.
- Let potato slices rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking to reduce moisture and improve crispiness.
- Soak slices in cold water for 30 minutes and dry thoroughly to remove excess starch, if desired.
- Arrange potatoes snugly but avoid overcrowding to allow air circulation for crispy edges.
- Start checking doneness at 40 minutes as oven temperatures vary to prevent overbaking.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
