Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, sliced
Sauce
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the potato casserole evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: Thinly slice the 4 large potatoes and arrange them evenly in a baking dish, creating a layered base for the bake.
- Mix Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine almond milk, nutritional yeast, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Assemble Bake: Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the layered potatoes, ensuring all slices are lightly coated to achieve a creamy texture after baking.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped green onions evenly on top to add freshness and a subtle onion flavor.
- Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes to allow the potatoes to soften and absorb the flavors.
- Finish Baking: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the top to turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
Notes
- For extra creaminess, you may add a tablespoon of vegan butter or margarine before baking.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other plant-based milk if preferred.
- To make this dish spicier, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure potatoes are sliced evenly to promote uniform cooking.
