Making Thick Cut BACON from a POTATO

This was just a fun experiment gone right. I first wanted to see how much starch I could extract from a potato to make vegan bacon. It wasn't much so I picked up some potato starch and started layering up a perfect vegan pork belly that was easily sliceable into an incredible good thick cut vegan bacon.

The goal of SauceStache is to continue trying something new, something new to me and something different.
I find inspirations from you the SauceSquad and my constant hunt of social media to see what food is being made around the globe and how can I try to make it. Lets try to make some food and have fun!!

When you said, "it's probably not going to be perfect, but that's okay" it felt so wholesome. Your videos are so enjoyable

1 cup potato starch
1 tbsp coconut oil
1tsp msg
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1tsp beetroot powder / red food colouring
1tsp liquid smoke
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup just boiled water

1 cup potato starch
1 tbsp coconut oil


1. Put the two sets of ingredients in two different bowls, mix/combine the bowl with the seasonings into a crumbly consistency
2. Put a 3/4 cup boiling water into the flavoured starch and 1 cup of boiling water into the unflavoured starch
3. Mix and combine each bowl with the boiled water, add an additional 1/2 cup of starch into the flavoured mix if you think it needs it
4. Knead each a bit, add an additional tbsp of starch to each and knead it in, so it's more pliable/workable/firm for shaping into a bacon slab
5. 2:45 to see how to shape it
6. Oil your knife, and slice the bacon slab into strips as needed, and fry up


(notes: can wrap it up and freeze it, and slice it frozen)

normally these sound too weird for me, but everything ELSE made from potatoes is good... I’ll try it.

[emmasgoodies]

This has to be my favorite bacon you've made!!

Whenever you release a new meat invention video, I tell myself-

This guy is going places.

[jimmy.r.minnelli]

Mark, can we have a ranking of bacons you've made? To be honest, I can't fathom that this one could be as good as some of the others.

I have to admit that I was very skeptical about the "potato-to-bacon" premise of this one. But I was a bit awestruck by the end. That crunch and appearance was simply amazing. I will definitely try this recipe.

"We're not going to run through the process but..."
*proceeds to run through process with video montage of the steps*

joking, but I love how you always take "from scratch" to heart!

[alexandragatto]

I would probably still put some seasonings in the white part, just the light coloured ones. Keep the colour contrast without having big streaks that are essentially unflavoured starch.

Holy s*** this guy really goes for it don't he. I have watched dozens of this guys videos have never tried a single recipe but I'm continually surprised by the stuff he comes up with and am always entertained by the weirdness of it all - love it!

[AYDTMAN]

I thought once I went Vegan that I would have to give up a lot of foods I loved. Thanks you, Edgy Veg, Gaz Oakly & a few others, I can now keep eating all the foods I love that are healthy & above all cruelty free! Thanks & keep up the good work! I need more recipes!

[mihaipopa]

Thanks for saving the animals and for keeping people healthy.

[stepicorn]

You are a gift sent from the vegan gods 🙏

[Reverie]

This looks amazing and it's easy enough that I might try it, I actually have all the ingredients in my kitchen already! Thank you for this brilliant recipe.🖤

[aileenviolet]

DUDE! You need to start selling your food creations. They always look so good and so realistic!

[D-hdnz]
