Vegan Swiss Alpine Macaroni - Älplermagronen

Hello my potato noses! Today the mountain is calling again. Sorry, it's almost becoming standard here with Swiss recipes. But I simply have to take you with me on this culinary Alpine adventure. Because these vegan Älplermagronen are the Swiss epitome of comfort food for cold days. And I dare say that this is exactly the kind of comfort food we all need at the moment. And you don't even have to leave your four walls, except perhaps to get the ingredients. Now, even the biggest mountain haters are certainly on board. And I promise you that our alpine excursion will not involve cow poop, snow, or any other unwanted surprises.
