Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, (about 4-5 potatoes, washed and sliced into ¼”-inch thick pieces)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, (divided, plus more to taste)
- 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper, (divided, plus more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 large shallot, (minced)
- 6 cloves fresh minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced sage
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh minced thyme
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup extra creamy non-dairy milk, (room temperature)
- 6 ounces plant-based shredded cheese,
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ½ cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese, (room temperature)
- Fresh minced parsley or chives, (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place the potato slices in a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until thoroughly coated. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the shallot, fresh garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme, stirring to combine.
- Whisk in the flour and continue cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.
- Slowly add in the non-dairy milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Stir in vegan shredded cheese, nutritional yeast, and remaining teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Continue to stir over medium heat until the cheese has melted, and the sauce is smooth.
- Arrange a layer of potato slices on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Pour a portion of the cheese sauce evenly over the layer.
- Repeat the layering process until all potatoes and sauce are used, ending with cheese sauce on top.
- Sprinkle the top with the additional vegan shredded cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender, and the top is golden and bubbling. If you’d like, you can broil it the last 5 minutes or so but be sure to keep an eye out as not to burn the top!
- Let the scalloped potatoes cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
