Halved the recipe and used real butter because that’s what I had on hand. (To my fellow home cooks who find reviews with such tweaks infuriating: I see you, I hear you, I am holding space for you on your healing journey.) Took a lot of time but very little effort as most of the cooking time was passive. Turned out pretty tasty! I was not in danger of needing to add more plant milk, as the recipe suggests - in fact, next time I’ll add less than called for to start out, as my mixture was very wet.

If the potatoes are large enough, just slice in half. No need to waste the top.

I find that I can partially cook the potatoes in the microwave, then transfer to the oven to cut down on cooking time without loss of flavor or texture.

Looks like a great recipe, love the roasted onions.Gout sufferers beware of the nutritional yeast, though. It’s a potent gout trigger.So, I will leave yeast out and sub in Parmesan cheese and chopped Kalamata olives to get the savory umami.

There’s no need to coat the potatoes with oil for roasting. A bit of salt swirled in some water, amounts don’t matter, makes a perfect brine for roasting potatoes.Roll the spuds in the brine. Poke them with a fork a few times. Bake.In step5: Don’t over-mix. Add a bit of cornstarch slurry that you have boiled. Omit butter. Add more yeast and some garlic powder. The secret to mashed potatoes is to add starch water and not over-mix. When boiled, use the cooking water.

I've never known Russets to 'leak'. Sweet potatoes yes, big time, but russets?

This recipe has no business being as good as it is! Though that is often the case with Ali Slagle’s recipes. Still I wouldn’t have tried this without the “nooch” love note from Tanya Sichynsky in this week’s veggie newsletter.I followed the recipe exactly and WOW!! Phenomenal!! Though it might have been a bad decision as my spouse proclaimed during cleanup that they never want potatoes any other way. :)Terrific flavor, easy/fun prep, and minimal cleanup! Great veg center-of-the-plate dish!

Loved this, the only thing I may add next time is a bit of smoked paprika. I served it with peas and sautéed sliced vegan apple sausage. Yummy!

This was excellent. I added a bit more oil to the onions and added chili flakes to the mixture before baking and it was delicious!

Delicious, healthy dish, easy on animals and the environment.

Really enjoyed this! Made as directed minus the vegan butter because I didn’t have any on hand. Worked well as leftovers as well. Filled the scraped top skins with leftover filling.

I am on a heart disease restricted diet and cannot have any oil. Is there a substitute or can it be omitted?

Subbed vinegar with lemon bc it’s what I had on-hand and also subbed chopped olives for the yeast per the commenter below. Added some finely chopped preserved lemon to the milk mixture as well - delicious!

Russets can burst so always poke holes in them before baking.
