Dairy Free Au Gratin Potatoes

These were so good. I think I should have made more. Rich, creamy, and no cheese!

Dairy Free Au Gratin Potatoes

Adapted from the book pictured

2 T olive oil
3 T flour *or gluten free flour mix
1 1/2 C milk alternative *We like Hemp Milk for it's good fat and calcium qualities
2 tsp salt
1/4 t ground white pepper
1/4 C chopped fresh local parsley
4 thinly sliced Organic potatoes

Make a "white sauce by heating the fat (oil), whisk in the flour, cook for 1 minute than stir in milk and remaining ingredients. Pour over thinly sliced potatoes. It's important in a dish like this not to skimp on the salt, as you're trying to replace some cheese and butter flavor. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until soft and lightly browned.

The parsley and any herb also effects the taste so even a dairy friendly person couldn't tell this was vegan.

We served this with local organic sausages from Main Market and organic cinnamon applesauce from our orchard.
