Vegetarian Dairy Free Potato Casserole

Cook time55 min

Thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes bake up tender and creamy under a rich, savory sauce built from blended soaked cashews, garlic, and a good hit of nutritional yeast for that deep, cheesy flavor. A quick roux of flour and onion thickens everything into a velvety coating, while smoked paprika and Dijon mustard add warmth and tang in every bite. The whole dish gets finished with a crunchy, golden breadcrumb topping that turns crisp and toasty in the oven, giving you contrast against the soft, custardy layers underneath. A scatter of fresh chives at the end brightens the dish right before serving. This one bakes into a bubbling, spoonable casserole that's a genuinely satisfying centerpiece for a vegetarian table, comforting enough for a holiday spread and easy enough for a weeknight side.

For the sauce

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 1 hour and drained
1 ½ cups unsweetened dairy free milk

Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp dijon mustard
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp smoked paprika

For the topping

1 cup gluten free breadcrumbs
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp salt

For serving

2 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
2
