Nutritional Information:
This tart is rich in complex carbohydrates from potatoes, plant proteins from soy, and vitamins from vegetables. It also contains fiber that aids digestion and provides a feeling of fullness.

Step-by-Step Preparation:

1. Preparing the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and slicing them into thin rounds. This step is essential to ensure even baking. Place the potatoes in a pot of water and add a cube of Delikat to give them a delicious flavor. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes simmer for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly soft but not fully cooked.

2. Preparing the Vegetables: While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the bell pepper and onion. Grate the garlic cloves. These vegetables will add a deep flavor and intense aroma to your dish.

3. Rehydrating the Soy: In a bowl, place the soy granules and pour hot water over them, letting them soak for about 10 minutes. After they have expanded, drain the excess water.

4. Preparing the Filling: In a large skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the onion, bell pepper, and garlic over medium heat. Add the rehydrated soy, tomato juice, chopped dill, and salt to taste. Cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and the flavors meld together.

5. Assembling the Tarts: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a baking dish lined with parchment paper and greased with oil, place a layer of boiled potatoes. Add some of the soy and vegetable mixture, then another layer of potatoes. Continue alternating layers until all ingredients are used.

6. Preparing the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the chopped parsley with water, oil, and salt, then pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes.

7. Baking: Grate some cheese or vegan cheese over the tarts to add a touch of creaminess and flavor. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes until the potatoes are nicely browned and the moisture has evaporated.

8. Serving: Once the tart is ready, let it cool slightly before slicing. You can serve the tart warm, alongside a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce for a perfect contrast.

Variations and Practical Tips:
- Vegetable Additions: You can also add other vegetables, such as grated carrots or zucchini, to diversify the texture and flavor.
- Spices: Experiment with different spices, such as sweet paprika or pepper, to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Serving: This tart pairs perfectly with a salad of arugula and cherry tomatoes or with tzatziki sauce for a refreshing contrast.

- Can I replace soy with another ingredient? Yes, you can use cooked lentils or mushrooms for a soy-free version.
