Method
Early preparations
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- Grate the vegan cheddar cheese. If the cheese is sliced, cut the slices into cubes and process in a food processor until you get thin crumbs.
- Place the Bissli in a plastic bag, close tightly, and grind coarsely with a kitchen hammer.

Potatoes
- Bake the potatoes with the skin at 180 degrees Celcius until softened so that a fork or skewer will pass through easily.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and increase the heat to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise.

- Scoop out the pulp, leaving about ¼ inch bottom and sides (save the pulp for another use such as Vegan Croquettes)
- Line a pan with a baking sheet; Spray or brush the baking sheet with oil.
- Combine oil with salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper; brush over both sides of the skins.

- Place in the oven (at 200 degrees Celsius) and bake for 5-7 minutes on each side (10-14 minutes in total) until the potato skins become crispy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle Bissli Crumbs or vegan Tofu Bacon.

- Fill the potatoes with grated vegan cheddar. Return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until the vegan cheddar softens.

For Serving
- Remove from the oven, garnish with a tablespoon of vegan sour cream on each unit, sprinkle with chopped chives (or green onions) and chili flakes. Serve immediately.

Vegan Sour Cream
- Drain the almonds from the soaking water and rinse well. Place in a strong blender and process for a few minutes until thin crumbs are obtained.
- Add the rest of the ingredients: silk tofu, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and salt and process for a few minutes until smooth.
- Place a bag of nut milk on a vessel that will comfortably hold the mixture. Pour the mixture into the bag.
- Squeeze the nut-bag as hard as possible. At the end of the process, a solid mixture will remain in the bag -save it for other uses such as Vegan Feta Cheese (recipe soon).
- Transfer the cream to an airtight jar and place it in the refrigerator to set for about an hour.

- The sour cream is excellent as it is, as a dip, a garnish to various dishes. In addition, it clots in baking like actual sour cream, making it ideal for cake filling and icing, pies, and so much more.
- The recipe is based on the non-vegan version of Taste of Home.
