Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 small spritz Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil spray.
Step 2
Thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into even rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniformity, if available.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the almond milk, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and warm, but do not bring to a boil.
Step 4
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping each slice.
Step 5
Pour one-third of the almond milk mixture evenly over the potato layer, then sprinkle with a small portion of grated Parmesan cheese and a few thyme leaves.
Step 6
Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with the almond milk mixture on top. Reserve a small amount of Parmesan cheese for the final topping.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven.
Step 8
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top, and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Step 9
Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme leaves, if desired.
