Jansson’s Temptation is a beloved, traditional Swedish potato casserole. Serve this vegan version as a twist on the classic recipe for the holidays or a simple comfort food meal or potluck.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes (i.e., Russet)
- 1 large onion (about 8 ounces), thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free margarine, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as desired
- 1 1/2 cups plant-based cream, plain, unsweetened (i.e., soy, oat, cashew)
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Peel and shred potatoes into thin pieces (about 1 1/2 – 2 inches long x 1/2 inches wide x 1/8 inches thick) using a hand shredder, food processor with attachment, or by hand with a knife.
- Heat 1 tablespoon plant-based margarine in a skillet or saucepan and sauté onions until soft (about 8 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place one-fourth of the potatoes in the dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as desired. Spread with one-third of the sautéed onions and 1 tablespoon capers. Repeat layers two more times, ending with final layer of potatoes on top.
- Pour over 1 cup of the plant-based creamer.
- Dot the top surface with 1 tablespoon margarine cut into small pieces. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Dot the top surface with remaining 1 tablespoon margarine pieces.
- Place in center of oven and bake for 20 minutes. Add remaining plant-based cream and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
