Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour

Boil the potatoes until almost tender, let them cool, and peel them. Soak the soy granules in plenty of hot water for 10 minutes (follow the package instructions). Finely dice the onion and fry in oil until translucent. Chop the garlic, drain the soy granules, add both and fry briefly. Roughly chop the tomatoes, add the juice from the can and the tomato paste. Mix everything well, season with salt, pepper, soy sauce, paprika, oregano, and basil, and simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes, then season to taste. Grease a baking dish. Cut the potatoes into thin slices and line the bottom of the dish with half of them. Pour in the tomato and soy sauce and smooth it down. Crumble the feta and spread it over the sauce. Layer the remaining potato slices. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and slowly add the milk while stirring constantly. Whisk everything thoroughly to avoid lumps. Season the béchamel sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and pour it over the top layer of potatoes. Bake the casserole at 180°C for about 45 minutes. Grated cheese can also be used instead of or in addition to the feta.
