My favorite recipe for vegan scalloped potatoes- ultra creamy, cheesy, garlicky and comforting. Absolutely NO dairy!

These potatoes are SO creamy, garlicky, flavorful and over-the-top delicious. The epitome of food , and a requirement have at any holiday meal! They're going to be gone so fast, and nobody will guess they're vegan.

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Pour half the sauce on top. it'll be very watery at now , which is ok . It'll thicken up because the potatoes bake. Spread the onion/garlic mixture on top.

Simply make the potatoes as instructed and let cool completely to temperature. Cover tightly and refrigerate 2-3 days. I wouldn’t go longer than that. When able to serve, bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until warmed through.

INGREDIENTS :

4 pounds yukon gold potatoes

For the creamy sauce:

1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups unsweetened non-dairy milk (I used coconut milk)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

For the rest:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 large garlic cloves, minced
Optional for serving: vegan parmesan, chopped fresh chives

INSTRUCTIONS :

Peel your potatoes, and slice them into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Set aside.
Make the creamy sauce: Drain the cashews. In a high powered blender like a Vitamix, add all the sauce ingredients (cashews, vegetable broth, non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast and salt) and blend on high for a few minutes until very smooth.
Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and saute for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Now add the garlic to the pan and cook, stirring constantly for another minute. Turn off heat and set aside.
Spread half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Top evenly with half of the creamy sauce, and then add the onion/garlic mixture across the top of the sauce.
Layer the rest of the potatoes, and then the rest of the sauce. Bake for 60 minutes, then check a few potatoes to make sure they are fork tender and cooked through. If not, put back in the oven for 10-20 more minutes, until done. The sauce should be bubbly and thick.
Sprinkle vegan parmesan and chopped fresh chives on top, if desired and serve. Enjoy!
