Ingredients

8 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 splash olive oil
½ cup vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®)
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can green beans, drained
½ medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegan butter (such as Earth Balance®)
4 cups water
2 packets vegetable bouillon
½ tablespoon vegetable base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 ¼ cups French-fried onions

Steps:

Place potatoes and olive oil in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool for 2 minutes.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup vegan butter, pepper, and salt and mash with a fork until combined and potatoes are smooth.
Combine corn, green beans, onion, garlic, and 1 tablespoon vegan butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Add to the potatoes; stir until thoroughly mixed and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine water, vegetable bouillon, and vegetable base in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once bouillon is dissolved, stir in cornstarch and flour until thoroughly mixed and boiling. Let mixture boil for 3 minutes until thick like gravy, them remove from the heat.
Grease two baking pans. Spread 1/2 of the potato-veggie mixture into one pan and pour 1/2 of the gravy over top. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the French-fried onions and cover the pan with foil. Repeat with remaining ingredients in the second pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
