Week Three: Ingredient Challenges
Making the humble potato the star of the show.
Considering I shared a potato-centric recipe just the other day, indulge me in a little fun today. I’m going to propose a day wherein one eats potatoes FOR EVERY MEAL! Just white potatoes. No sweet potatoes, yams, or any other sneaky tubers. It’s starchy white potatoes all the way through.
BREAKFAST
Start your day the potato way — with vegan Irish potato farls! A favorite from last year’s VeganMoFo, these pan-fried triangles of potato-y dough make for a real stick-to-your-ribs breakfast. Pair them with some kind of vegan sausage for added Irishness, and be sure to have a pot of tea on hand.
Other breakfast options:
Crispy hash brown haystacks! Or this outta-control tater tot hot dish.
LUNCH
May I suggest an unorthodox option? Make potato salad your main meal and pair it with a protein side (a veggie burger patty, bunless?). Alternative: If it’s a chilly day, how about hot soup? This creamy caramelized potato-onion soup should fit the bill!
Other lunch options:
Peruvian purple potato soup, perhaps? Or these chipotle potato cakes alongside a big ol’ salad.
DINNER
No question — I’m going with my spicy potato casserole! It’s a tasty, filling, and unexpected take on a gratin-like dish. Make your own tofu chorizo or use store-bought.
Other dinner options:
Vegan colcannon, most definitely! Or a jacket potato stuffed with vegan haggis, like the one I just loved in Edinburgh. (There’s a link to a vegan haggis recipe in this post.)
BONUS SWEETS!
Mashed potato candy?! I’ve never tried it, but it’s a thing!
So. Would you try an all-potato day? What dishes would you include?

I would love an all potato day! I’d start with a potato and chorizo hash for breakfast (your casserole version sounds amazing!), then for lunch my boyfriend makes the most amazing spiced chickpea wrap with roast potatoes. And finally for dinner, tofush and chips!
