Vegan scalloped potatoes 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 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, such as cashew milk, almond milk, rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk, or even hemp milk. 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.
