How To Make This Recipe
It doesn’t get easier than these vegan scalloped potatoes.
The first step is slicing your yukon gold potatoes into thin slices. No need to peel! Slice about 8 yukon gold potatoes, and set aside while you make your sauce.
Now add all of the sauce ingredients to a blender, including cashews, nutritional yeast, cashew milk, garlic powder and salt. Give that a good blend.
Finally, layer half of the potatoes in an oven safe baking dish. Pour half the sauce over top, then repeat until both the potatoes and sauce are used up. Cover and pop in the oven for an hour and you’ve got the easiest and best tasting scalloped potatoes of your life!
Customize These Scalloped Potatoes
Nut Free Option: Instead of cashews in this recipe, simply use a block of drained silken tofu instead. It will be equally as creamy as delicious. You can also opt for soy milk or rice milk instead of cashew milk.
Fancy It Up: To add an elevated taste, I would suggest incorporating a tablespoon of dijon mustard to the sauce, or even some chili flakes for spice if desired.
Add Veggies: You can totally add sliced white onion to these vegan scalloped potatoes, try them with sweet potato instead of yukon golds, or even incorporate diced broccoli for more of a casserole situation.
