Description

This vegan Tater Tot Poutine is a delicious plant-based twist on the classic Canadian dish, featuring crispy baked tater tots smothered in creamy smoked mozzarella cheese sauce and rich, savory vegan gravy. Perfect for a comforting meal or snack that satisfies with every bite.

Ingredients

For the Tater Tot Poutine:

  • 1 package tater tots
  • 1/2 package shredded smoked mozzarella cheese (vegan)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened nut milk (for the cheese)

For the Gravy:

  • 5 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 5 tablespoons flour
  • 2 1/2 cups unsweetened nut milk (cashew recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
  • 2 tablespoons liquid aminos or light tamari
  • 2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bake the Tater Tots: Preheat your oven and bake the tater tots according to the package directions until they are perfectly crispy and golden brown. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes but refer to your package for specifics.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the shredded smoked vegan mozzarella cheese with the 1/3 cup unsweetened nut milk. Whisk constantly to melt the cheese smoothly and prevent burning. Once melted, keep the sauce covered and warm.
  3. Make the Vegan Gravy: In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Whisk in the flour and cook the roux until it turns a light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add thyme, liquid aminos or light tamari, vegan Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Gradually pour in the 2 1/2 cups unsweetened nut milk, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens to a smooth consistency. Reduce heat to low and keep warm.
  4. Assemble the Poutine: In a large bowl or serving plate, create layers starting with a portion of crispy tater tots, then spoon over the warm cheese sauce, and follow with a generous layer of vegan gravy. Repeat layering until most of the tater tots are covered, seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Tater Tot Poutine immediately while hot for the best taste and texture. Enjoy this comforting, cheesy vegan indulgence!

Notes

  • Use cashew nut milk for a creamier gravy texture.
  • You can substitute liquid aminos with light soy sauce if unavailable.
  • If you prefer, make your own vegan smoked mozzarella cheese for enhanced flavor.
  • Keep sauces warm to prevent cheese sauce from solidifying and gravy from thickening too much before serving.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste especially salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
