Add the potatoes and cook 6 to 8 minutes,until they begin to turn brown. Reduce the heat to medium if the potatoes get too dark, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Ad the onion and cook for 2 minutes. Add the pepper and sausage and cook 2 minutes, or until the pepper starts to soften and the sausage begin to brown.

Add the tofu, chard, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the tofu begins to turn golden.

Add the yeast, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and cayenne. Cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. If the mixture is dry, add a splash of water. Add the reserved potatoes to the tofu mixture and cook another 5 minutes. Serve immediately
