• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion

• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into approximately 1/4-inch slices. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion, add to the skillet, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.

Mince the garlic cloves and add to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the vegetable broth, coconut milk, and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with two tablespoons of water to make a slurry, then pour it into the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 9

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining potato slices and the rest of the sauce.

Step 11

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place in the preheated oven.

Step 12

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
