Eggs and potato:

Eggs and potatoes are such a classic combination, and a breakfast favorite in many cultures like baked potatoes and eggs in the US, and frittatas in Spain, where eggs and potatoes are combined with different spices and different ways of cooking.

This Vegan eggs and potatoes recipe is inspired by Middle Eastern eggs and potatoes, it’s called “Bayd w batata” or ” Mfarakeh” in Arabic.

My mother used to prepare this for us in 2 different ways, one where she combined the potatoes with scrambled eggs and another way where she baked it in the oven. This recipe is the baked version.

Vegan eggs mix ingredients:

This is a basic Vegan egg mix (the first 4 ingredients) that you can use for Omelletes and baked vegan egg recipes, and add any other spices you prefer.

• Chickpeas flour: also called Gram or Besan flour, it’s made of ground chickpeas, therefore it is gluten-free. It is higher in protein content than other gluten-free flour varieties and also high in fiber. When mixed with a liquid of choice whether water or milk it gives a perfect egg-like texture.
• Gluten-free flour: I’ve used all-purpose gluten-free flour, but you can use any all-purpose flour you prefer.
• Baking powder.
• Kala Namak: which is called black salt, it’s a rock salt widely used in Indian cuisine, it has a smell that resembles cooked eggs due to its Sulfur content. It’s added to Vegan eggs for its smell.
• Spices: I’ve used Turmeric powder for the yellow color, onion, and garlic powder.
• Salt
• Nutritional yeast: optional

How to make Vegan eggs and potatoes?

Prepare the vegan egg mixture:

• Into a mixing bowl, add all the vegan egg mix ingredients, and mix well to combine. Set aside for later.

Prep the potatoes :

To prep the potatoes, you can choose boiling, oven baking, frying, or air frying. In this recipe, I have used my DeLonghi MultiFry to bake the potatoes:

• Add the chopped potatoes into a bowl and add olive oil. Mix to combine.
• Next, add the spices and seasoning and mix well to combine.
• Transfer the potatoes to the fryer, and let them cook. It will take 10 minutes to cook.

Make the eggs and potato:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C
• Take one cup of the vegan egg mixture and add to a medium mixing bowl.
• Add the plant-based milk and whisk well to combine, it should be a batter consistency. Set aside for 10 minutes
• Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop on medium heat, once heated add the cooked potatoes, then top with the vegan eggs & milk mixture, and cover the potatoes with the egg mixture. Continue cooking on the stovetop, on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
• Pop the skillet in the preheated oven and cook the top only for a further 5 minutes til cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes, Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve.

Tips for success:

• To have a smooth vegan egg mixture, it is recommended to sift the Chickpeas flour when using, to avoid any lumps in the batter.
• Be aware of how much salt you add to the recipe since the egg mixture contains black salt, which is salty.
• Feel free to add any other veggies to the recipe, such as bell pepper or broccoli, if anything you will boost the nutritional value of these eggs and potatoes!
• Keep in mind that you can adjust the serving size based on your appetite and the number of guests you’re serving. This recipe can be doubled and even tripled.
