Heat a white bottom non-stick pan and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Chop 400 grams of mushrooms into large strips and add to the hot pan.

Cook the mushrooms until they sweat down and caramelize.

Chop 1 medium leek into chunks, rinse to remove sediment, and add to the pan with the mushrooms.

Add 3 cloves of garlic to the pan after the mushrooms have cooked down.

Prepare 2 medium potatoes and 1 sweet potato (total around 800 grams) by chopping them into consistent sizes.

Once the mushrooms are caramelized, add the chopped leek, sweet potato, and potato to the pan.

Add a generous pinch of salt and mix to draw moisture from the vegetables.

Cover the pan with a lid to steam the vegetables for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness with a fork.

Turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the cooked vegetables.

In a separate saucepan, heat 8 tablespoons of oil over medium heat to make a bechamel sauce.

Add 8 tablespoons of plain flour to the oil and whisk to create a roux, cooking for about a minute until lightly golden.

Slowly add oat milk to the roux, about a quarter at a time, whisking until smooth.

Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the sauce.

Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Combine the bechamel sauce with the cooked vegetables and mix well.

Prepare a 20 cm by 20 cm pan and place one sheet of ready-made puff pastry in it, trimming as necessary.

Crimp the edges of the pastry to fit the pan and brush with a little oil or non-dairy milk.

Preheat the oven to 180-200 degrees Celsius (approximately 380-400 degrees Fahrenheit).

Bake the pie until golden and crispy, about 20 minutes.
