Pressed potatoes with garlic & seasonings
-Extended recipe-
Lately I was often making smashed potatoes. Occasionally while being short with time I would use a pressure cooker to quickly get them done. Cooking in a pressure cooker under the highest pressure reduces time of cooking – actually double.
My first thought was to publish the recipe only for those delicious potatoes that don’t require the use of an oven. Process is very basic and simple: after cooking I press them and fry on both sides on a frying pan with a bit of oil.
I changed my mind about publishing only the recipe for potatoes. I decided to publish an extended recipe because the combination of those smashed potatoes, glazed carrots, spinach with garlic and vegan Filet Pieces from Halsans Kok – is simply great. It can be a lovely idea for a weekend lunch with family.
Extended recipe with the full list of ingredients can be found under the image section of this post, in the recipe box.

- A couple of potatoes and carrots;

- 1 tsp. of flour;
- 3 tsp. of vegan cooking cream;

Instructions

- Once it's done take it out of frying pan, add sugar, put carrots on it and add a bit of oil, so start to caramelise them on a higher temperature while flipping them often. Take them out and add vegan meat on a leftover of caramelised sugar, then add a bit of oil, and fry it.
- Spinach: add thawed spinach to a blender together with flour, salt, garlic, plant milk and vegan cooking cream, and blend until creamy consistency, then warm it up and cook on a stove. Let it simmer for 1 min after boiling point. Serve with the rest of the prepared food. Decorate with a bit of a vegan cooking cream and freshly ground black pepper.
