Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, preferably with a mandoline, to about 1/8 inch thick for even cooking.
Step 3
Lightly spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, vegetable broth, minced garlic, fresh thyme, black pepper, and nutmeg.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
Step 6
Arrange one-third of the potato slices in the baking dish, overlapping slightly.
Step 7
Pour one-third of the almond milk mixture over the potatoes.
Step 8
Continue layering the potatoes and milk mixture, ensuring the top layer is potatoes.
Step 9
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Step 11
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 12
Let the gratin rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
