Calories: 140kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz silken tofu extra firm or medium regular tofu, drained and crumbled
- 1 medium-small potato cubed
- ¼ cup white onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon black salt
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ to 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast optional
Instructions
- Start by thoroughly scrubbing and rinsing the potatoes. You don’t have to peel them, I don’t. Then dice into bite-sized cubes.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot add the minced onion and sauté until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toss in the cubed potatoes and let them sizzle until they start to turn golden brown. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the drained silken tofu in a bowl and use a fork to break it up into crumbles. You decide what size you want them to be.
- Once the potato bits are tender you can add the crumbled tofu and all remaining spices. Mix until well combined and allow to sauté for another 8 minute to help the flavors incorporated into each other.
- Serve as desired!
Notes
Please note that the nutritional information stated is calculated using silken tofu and may differ depend ending on the type you use.
