Transform ordinary steamed potatoes into this comforting hash brown–inspired pie for two. Chopped potatoes are smothered in a creamy, cheesy sauce that gets its heavenly flavor from a mixture of nutritional yeast, smoky paprika, and nutty tahini. Mashed cannellini beans create a deliciously smooth texture and chopped chives add herbal brightness. If you want to get fancy, feel free to add sautéed onions and bell peppers to the mix before serving in generous wedges. Enjoy this hash brown pie on its own or alongside fresh fruit and waffles for a plant-based brunch feast.

Ingredients
- 1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed (about 5)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1½ teaspoons tahini
- 1½ tablespoons unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk
- 1½ teaspoons nutritional yeast
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup cooked or canned cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place whole potatoes in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan to just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 10 to 15 minutes or until tender. (To steam potatoes in the microwave, prick each potato several times with a fork. Place on a plate and microwave on high 5 minutes. Turn potatoes over; microwave 5 minutes more.) Let cool, then roughly chop.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together vinegar and tahini. Whisk in milk, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, and salt. Add beans; use a spoon or spatula to mash gently and combine. Stir chopped potatoes and chives (if using) into bean mixture.

(4 from 5 votes)Excellent recipe. Hearty and filling for a good start to your morning!
Very good recipe, great flavor!
You can also substitute red radishes for the potatoes to make it healthier and less calories... The radishes pick up the flavor of whatever they are cooked in/with... Yum!
Not a favorite. Due to the vinegar, I might call it "Roasted Potato Salad". Not cheese-like at all.
We enjoyed the flavor of this dish. I added mixed veggies to brighten it up. I will definitely make this again.
Did not turn out like I expected. Proportions of ingredients did not match the picture. Disappointed! And doesn’t taste like I expected
