Ingredients:
– 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
– 1 small onion, thinly sliced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tablespoons vegan butter
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with vegan butter or cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
4. Slowly pour in the almond milk and vegetable broth, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Add the Dijon mustard, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they’re all coated.
6. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce, making sure to cover the top layer of potatoes with the sauce.
7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown.
8. Once out of the oven, let the scalloped potatoes sit for 10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
