From the author:
Babe Ruth said of scallions that they’re “the greatest cure for a batting slump ever invented.” This (vegan) cheesy potato casserole is pure comfort, embellished with lots of scallion in honor of the Babe.

Potato, Scallion, & Zucchini Casserole
Yield: 6 people
Materials
- 5-6 med red-skinned or golden potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 1 med zucchini, thinly sliced
- 5-6 scallions, sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp minced fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 cup plain plant-based milk
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella-style vegan cheese shreds
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- toasted sunflower seeds (for topping)
Instructions
- Bake or microwave the potatoes in their skins until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel and slice about 1/2 inch thick.
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Combine the potatoes with the remaining ingredients (except the sunflower seeds) in a large bowl and stir together. Don’t worry if the potatoes break apart.
- Pour into an oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the toasted sunflower seeds.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
- Let stand for 5 minutes, then scoop out of the baking dish to serve.
