- 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
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.
