Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup whole grain breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them into thin, even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the almond milk, nutritional yeast, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the olive oil.

Step 5

Layer about one-third of the potato slices at the bottom of the baking dish. Pour about a third of the sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Repeat this process with the remaining potatoes and sauce, creating layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the bake. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the potato bake from the oven and let it cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy and comforting vegan classic potato bake!
