Description

If you are looking for a vegan substitute for a cheesy, creamy gratin, try this potato leek gratin with almond milk, dairy-free cheese, and coconut milk.

Ingredients

2 medium leeks, chopped
1 tablespoon vegan margarine
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano, divided
3 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, divided
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 (5 3/5 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 1/2 cups almond milk, or as needed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup shredded vegan cheese

Directions

1 Combine leeks, margarine, garlic, 2 teaspoons oregano, 2 teaspoons rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook until leeks are soft, 7 to 8 minutes. Add potatoes, coconut milk, almond milk, and flour, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until potatoes are almost cooked, 10 to 15 minutes. Add more liquid if mixture starts to stick.
2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish.
3 Spoon potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Garnish with remaining oregano and rosemary.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are fully cooked and top is golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes.
