Individual Vegan Scalloped Potatoes
Makes 6-8 portions depending on the size of your serving dishes
Ingredients:
-
10 medium sized potatoes, scrubbed
Sauce:
-
1 onion sliced thinly
-
3 Tbsp vegan butter
-
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
-
1 cup plant based milk of choice
-
1 package of Fauxmagerie Zengarry Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese
-
2 Tbsp. chopped chives
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Sauce:
1. Slice the onion thinly using a mandoline.
2. Add the vegan butter to a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.
3. Add the flour and mix well to coat the onions. Stir in the milk gradually, mixing to prevent clumping.
4. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
5. Add in the Fauxmagerie Zengarry Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese and mix well until you have a thick sauce. If necessary thin it with a bit more plant-based milk or vegetable broth.
6. Add the chives and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Potatoes:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 C.
2. Slice potatoes very thinly using a mandoline. Lazy cook hack: I used thin skinned white potatoes and left the skins on. Set aside.
3. Grease 6 - 8 ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with vegan butter.
4. Layer potatoes and sauce repeatedly until the containers are full, but not overflowing.
5. Place the filled ramekins on a cookie sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. You'll know they're ready when a toothpick inserted into the center of the potatoes enters easily.
6. Remove the potatoes from the oven and top with additional chopped chives and freshly ground pepper.
