Cooking Steps

Cook and smash potatoes
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then peel and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • To a large pot, add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover by approx. 1 inch (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
  • Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
  • Mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook plant-based protein shreds
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. 
  • When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds. Cook for 6-8 min, flipping once or twice, until cooked through.**
  • Season with 1 tsp (2 tsp) chicken stock powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Transfer protein shreds to a plate.
Prep
3
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop spinach.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Thinly slice chives.
Start sauce
4
  • When potatoes are done, heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
  • Add garlic and Cream Sauce Spice Blend. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
  • Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cups) water, cream cheese and remaining stock powder. Bring to a simmer, whisking often, until cream cheese is mostly combined. (TIP: It's okay if there are bits of cream cheese. The sauce will smooth out in the next step.)
Finish sauce
5
  • Once simmering, add spinach to the pan with sauce. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Add Dijon. Season with pepper, if you like. Cook for 30 sec, whisking often, until Dijon is incorporated.
  • Remove the pan from heat.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add half the chives to the smashed potatoes, then stir to combine.
  • Divide smashed potatoes between plates, then top with protein shreds.
  • Spoon sauce over protein shreds and potatoes.
  • Sprinkle remaining chives over top.
7

If you've opted to get protein shreds, heat the pan over medium. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds. Cook for 6-8 min, flipping once or twice, until cooked through.** Season with 1 tsp (2 tsp) chicken stock powder, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Transfer protein shreds to a plate. (NOTE: No need to roast protein shreds!)

  • Suggestions: Consider serving with cranberry sauce for added flavor contrast. Adjust seasoning carefully, as some found it overly salty.
  • Protein: Many customers praised the plant-based protein shreds, finding them a standout element of the dish.
