Roasted baby potatoes topped with cheese curds and a rich vegetarian gravy for a Canadian-style lunch.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Baby Potatoes
- 2 1/2 cups Vegetable Broth
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 1/2 cups Cheese Curds
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- To taste Salt
- To taste Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and halve baby potatoes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast potatoes for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Check tenderness with a fork.
- While potatoes are roasting, prepare vegetarian gravy. In a saucepan, whisk together vegetable broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme until smooth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glossy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Once potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Top generously with cheese curds and pour hot gravy over the top. Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and warm gravy.
