The first time I tried these vegan scalloped potatoes I could not believe how scrumptious they were. How can such a simple and affordable ingredient turn into such a wonderfully delicious dish? I still can't believe it!
However, I've always been a superfan of potatoes, because they are so versatile and flavorful. So I made my own scalloped potatoes recipe and it turned out SO good! A super comforting dish made with only 10 ingredients and perfect for Thanksgiving.
How to make vegan scalloped potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF or 180ºC.
- Add the vegan butter to a saucepan and when it's melted, add the garlic and the onion and cook over medium-high heat until golden brown.
- Add the flour, whisk until there are no lumps, and cook for 1 more minute.
- Gradually pour in the vegetable stock and whisk until well combined. Then add in the plant milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk again until it's combined.
- Cook for 1 or 2 more minutes or until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish (about 23×33 cm). Place half of the potatoes on the bottom of the pan and top evenly with half of the sauce. Then sprinkle evenly half of the vegan shredded cheese.
- Top evenly with the remaining sliced potatoes, the other half of the sauce, and the other half of the vegan shredded cheese.

Ingredients and tips
- Vegan butter: to make this scalloped potatoes recipe you can use store-bought vegan butter, but our homemade version is super easy to make and healthier. Oil is also a good choice, though.
- Garlic.
- Onion: feel free to customize your easy scalloped potatoes with any type of onions.
- All-purpose flour: I've only made this recipe using all-purpose flour, but I think using a different type of flour, like a gluten-free flour blend, would also work. However, you may need to adjust the amount of it.
- Vegetable stock: vegetable stock is the best choice for your vegan scalloped potatoes because it enhances its flavor. Making your own vegetable stock at home is a good idea, but feel free to use a store-bought version if you want. However, you could also use water.
- Unsweetened plant milk: any type of unsweetened plant milk will work, but I used soy milk.
- Salt: to make this scalloped potatoes recipe I used ionized salt, but feel free to use any kind of salt.
- Ground black pepper: fresh ground black pepper tastes great. However, I find the store-bought version to be more convenient and easier to measure with a teaspoon.
- Yukon gold potatoes: they are the best type of potatoes to make these easy scalloped potatoes, but if you can't find them, don't worry and use what you have on hand.
- Vegan shredded cheese: this ingredient is completely optional, but it's totally worth it!
- You can serve your vegan scalloped potatoes as a part of your Thanksgiving dinner.

I made this yesterday and loved it. Thank you. I did find a vegan cheese here in my small rural town. One I can eat made of potato starch and pea protein. I won't use the ones made of soy oil. I'll be doing this recipe again this winter. Lynn
