Easter Potato Casserole (Vegan Version)
This is tradition in my family to eat on Easter Sunday. When I gave up dairy, I knew I didn't want to give up my favorite potatoes so here's how I make it vegan friendly. *Feel free to un-veganize it if you prefer but I promise this version is just as rich and creamy, you won't miss the dairy! -Lua

Ingredients:
Easter Potato Casserole (Vegan Version)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
- Instant Mashed Potato Flakes (enough for 10 servings)
- 1 tsp salt (less to taste)
- 6+ TBSP Plant Butter/Margarine (for potatoes and more on top, measure with your heart)
- 1 cup COLD plant milk (unsweetened)
- 1 container Tofutti sour cream
- 1 container Tofutti cream cheese (Try the Herb and chive for extra flavor, see notes)
- 1 packet dip mix (French onion, dill or ranch)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Make 10 servings of Instant Potato flakes according to directions but reduce the liquid in the recipe by 1/4. Example: 10 servings of Bob's Red Mill Potato Flakes would call for 1 1/4 cups milk, just use 1 cup. *This recipe is very forgiving so if your math is a little off, don't worry.
- Whip together the sour cream, cream cheese, dip packet and garlic powder.
- Add in the prepared potatoes and whip everything together. Give it a taste and see if you want to add anything else.
- Spread into 9x12 pan. Top with melted margarine or little pieces of margarine all over
- Bake 30 min at 350 or until it's golden brown on top.
- Serve warm, enjoy!!
- This recipe originally called for a 12 oz container of French Onion Dip, so if you aren't dairy free, you can use that or another pre-made dip. I think a dill dip would also be delicious!
- Various brands make dip mixes without dairy already in the ingredients. I usually use Simply Organic but there are others out there, just check the ingredients!
- Tofutti's herb & chive cream cheese is already seasoned so you may be able to skip the packet altogether, or add in a few spices and maybe a little salt if desired.
