Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Chopped chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. A mandoline slicer can help in getting even slices.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the vegetable broth and coconut milk to the saucepan. Stir in the nutritional yeast, fresh thyme leaves, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Step 6

Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 7

In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer.

Step 8

Pour half of the liquid mixture over the potatoes. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, then pour over the rest of the liquid mixture.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 11

Remove the gratin from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
