Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

This is a recipe that I have longed for, but had been reluctant to try. It seemed it would be hard to recreate this dish I remember from years past. To get the cheesy flavor, I turned to some of my favorite vegan macaroni and cheese dishes and used them as a springboard for this dish. It turned out great, with a creamy sauce that totally satisfied. This is vegan comfort food.

Vegan Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:

1/2 onion, chopped
6 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups plain and unsweetened soy milk
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp bread crumbs
paprika

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a rectangle glass baking dish.

Combine the flour, yeast, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Spread a layer of potatoes and a layer of onion in your baking dish. Sprinkle some of the flour mixture on top. Repeat until you have used all of the potatoes, onions, and flour mixture. Next, pour the soy milk over the potatoes, add the lemon juice (kind of sprinkle it on top), and put pats of margarine over the top. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and paprika.

Bake for 60 minutes.
