Jamie Oliver's potato pie – vegan & surprisingly ingenious

Jamie Oliver's favorite potato dish is surprising at first glance—but it's a real treat! Large potatoes are baked whole, then scooped out, and the flesh is mashed with sautéed leeks, vegan cream, and thyme to create a creamy puree. The crispy roasted potato skins form the base of the casserole dish, and the creamy mash is then placed on top, optionally topped with breadcrumbs. After another 35 minutes in the oven, a dish is created that combines all potato textures: crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside. This innovative interpretation shows that sometimes genius lies in simplicity. A true comfort food classic that could become your new favorite recipe! 🥔✨
