Loaded Breakfast Potatoes with Mushroom Gravy

May 7, 2014 7 Comments

Loaded-Breakfast-Potatoes

I have a thing for big, hot, savory breakfasts. They’re what I look forward to every morning! First, my daily smoothie, then a big plate of something yummy – usually potatoes.

Yesterday morning was no different. I woke up craving potatoes – but not my usual hash browns with veggies. No, I wanted something a bit more elaborate.

Enter – loaded breakfast potatoes (with some mushroom gravy inspiration from Jackie)!

You know, I’ve never been a big fan of mushrooms, but I love them in vegan gravy. So when I saw a bunch of cremini mushrooms on sale this past weekend, I snatched them up, knowing that a pot of mushroom gravy was in my future.

And what’s the best thing to do with gravy? Pour it over potatoes, of course!

So, that’s just what I did with this breakfast dish.

I suggest cooking the gravy first, then keeping it warm on the stove while you prepare your potatoes. Or you can cook them at the same time, if you’re good at multi-tasking!

Use any ol’ greens you like in this dish – I used dandelion greens because I thought they’d work well, but I also think spinach, kale, arugula and even collards would be very tasty!

Pile your loaded potatoes on a plate and drown them in mushroom gravy. Then go ahead and stuff your face. It will be hard not to!

Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 3 large servings
Ingredients
Mushroom Gravy
  • 1½ cups coconut milk, light or full-fat (I used full-fat)
  • ¼ cup onion, minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup cremini mushrooms, chopped very small
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2½ tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp tamari
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cups russet potatoes, chopped into small cubes
  • ¼ cup onion, minced
  • ¼ cup tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¾ cup dandelion greens, chopped
Instructions
Mushroom Gravy
  1. In a small pot, add ¼ cup of your coconut milk, and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Next, add the onion, saute for 2-3 minutes, then add in the garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are slightly clear.
  3. Add the mushrooms and saute until they have darkened and reduced in size, about 7 minutes.
  4. Add the corn starch and mix it in very well.
  5. Add the rest of the coconut milk, the nutritional yeast and the tamari. Bring to a boil, then cook on low, stirring occasionally, until the gravy reaches the consistency you like (took about 5 minutes for me). Season with salt & pepper and serve over your cooked potatoes.
Potatoes
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the potatoes, cover, and cook for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add the onions, and cook for about 5 minutes more.
  3. Add the tomatoes and bell pepper. Cook, uncovered, 5-10 minutes more, or until the potatoes are crispy and browned.
  4. Fold in the dandelion greens, and then season with salt and pepper.
