    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.
    • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes.
    • Serve your vegan scalloped potatoes immediately.

    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, 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
