  1. Oh gosh, that looks just like the Hungarian scalloped potatoes (without the boiled eggs)! It is made the same way too, except that we boil the unpeeled whole potatoes, then peel the boiled potatoes and slice them. Never tried to make a vegan version. You made me crave it 🙂 It looks soo good.

  2. Very interesting recipe, can’t wait to try it…do you think vegan sour cream would also work? And what about adding sone nutritional yeast? Thanks for the recipe!

    1. Hi Lori!
      Yes, actually vegan sour cream works even better with this recipe! I decided to go with plain soy yogurt because it’s more widely available! I haven’t tried making it with nutritional yeast, so unfortunately I can’t comment on that, but sounds yummy to me! 🙂

  3. 5 stars
    I doubled the recipe and my family loved it; no leftovers. Next time I will triple it! I used beyond sausages as I can’t find field roast near me anymore.

  4. I made this recipe and it turned out delicious, didn’t tell anyone it was vegan and they loved it. I used the vegan sour cream and it was very good. Baked in a 9×13 pan and almost ran out of the sour cream mixtur so next time I’ll do it in a smaller dish.
    Do you know how many calories would be in one serving?
