Ingredients

  • 6 medium russet potatoes peeled and sliced
  • 4 tablespoons dairy free butter
  • 2 - 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour or 2 tablespoons cornstarch (GF)
  • 2 cups unsweetened dairy free milk
  • 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tablespoon coarse salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Mise en place. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Slice your potatoes and place them in a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from turning brown. Then, measure the rest of your ingredients before starting.
  • Make the sauce. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Next, whisk in your flour until you have a smooth roux.
    Then, slowly whisk in your dairy free milks, whisking until everything is smooth. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the sauce to a strong simmer. Cook until sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove it from the heat until you're ready to add it to the baking dish.
  • Assemble the dish. Drain your potatoes and layer half of them in 9x13 baking dish, and cover with half of the sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce.
  • Bake until tender. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25 - 30 minutes.
    Remove from the oven and allow the scalloped potatoes to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
