Ingredients
  

For the potatoes:

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons coconut yoghurt plus extra to serve
  • 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt to your tastes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons miso paste I used genmai, which is a dark variety
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

For the salsa:

  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium fennel bulb and it's fronds
  • 1 medium Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 handful of mint or basically any herb
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes or almonds optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
  • Wash the potatoes and prick them with a fork a bunch of times to ensure you don't have to clean up any potato explosions. Coat the potatoes lightly with oil and season to your tastes.
  • Cook the potatoes from 30-45 minutes, depending on how big they are. It should be easy to insert a skewer through the potato and there should be no pushback or firmness.
  • Allow to cool just enough for you to be able to handle them, then slice them in half. Scoop out the flesh in the centre of the potato, leaving a little bit of flesh around the edges, so that the potato holds it's form. Place the potato flesh in a large mixing bowl, and mash it until smooth - you can use a ricer or just a fork.
  • Add the remaining ingredients for the potatoes, and mash/mix well to combine. Season to taste.
  • Spoon the mashed potato mixture back into the potato skins evenly, and give it a light spray of oil. Reduce the oven to 180C/356F and return the potatoes for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  • To make the salsa, combine the lime juice, brown sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl, and stir quickly to combine. Chop the vegetables as per your preference (I used a mandolin and alternate between larger and smaller pieces for a bit of texture) and mix them, together with the mint, in with the lime juice. Add the almonds or coconut flakes just prior to serving. Once the potatoes are done, add a generous serving of the salsa, and top with coconut yoghurt.
