We love potatoes because they are the ultimate filling vegan, gluten-free food. Potatoes are also very versatile, so you virtually can’t go wrong with whatever you do with a potato. Twice-baked potatoes are so yummy and you can put just about anything you like in the filling. We like vegan chili, black beans, salsa, you name it! This recipe is absolutely scrumptious because it pairs creamy vegan sour cream with gooey vegan cheese. The start of this recipe is to simply bake potatoes. We included a recipe on how to do this if you are new to cooking, but if you have a preferred method to bake a plain potato, feel free to use that.

• 3 Tablespoons fresh or freeze dried chives

Slice your potatoes in half length-wise, scoop out the middle and put it into a bowl. Place the skins on a baking sheet, evenly spaced apart. Mash the potatoes and add Vegenaise, vegan sour cream, horseradish, white wine vinegar, garlic, parsley, chives, salt, and pepper. Put the mashed potatoes back into the potato skins. Cover with shredded vegan cheese. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes.
