WHAT YOU NEED

N O T E S

If you're doing multiple potatoes, look for ones that are large, but all of similar size. This ensures they'll all cook at roughly the same time.
If you can't find Gardein Supreme Nugs, substitute any plant-based chik'n product you like. You'll need about 400 + grams divided.
I used a packaged vegetarian gravy for this recipe. You'll need two packages for 4 potatoes.

Preheat your oven to 425 F
On a baking sheet, pierce the potatoes with a fork all over to ensure even cooking, and rub the potatoes with Olive Oil (not extra virgin if you can avoid it). Season them liberally with salt and pep and toss them in to the oven. They'll likely need to bake 1 hour + before becoming fluffy. This all depends on their size.
With 25 minutes remaining, spray your nugs with cooking spray on a baking sheet and season with salt. Add to the oven and cook until your taters are done, or approximately 25 minutes.

Prepare the gravy according to package directions with 5 minutes remaining.
When the potatoes are pierced through a crispy skin and slide through the flesh gracefully, they're done. Transfer them to serving dish(es). Carefully split them open and add a Tbsp. or so of butter, gently working it in to the flesh. Season with salt and pep and top with some curds. Ladle over the hot gravy and let them sit a minute. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with chik'n bites, green onions, and any remaining gravy.
ENJOY!
