What is Au Gratin?

Gratin, also called au gratin, is a French cooking technique that involves creating a delicious browned crust over a dish (source). While the topping is usually made with breadcrumbs, grated cheese, egg, and/or butter, the following is a vegan and gluten-free version of a potato gratin.

How to Make a Vegan Potato Gratin

This savory plant-based side starts with a flavorful cream sauce made with cashews, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (for elegance)! The result is a creamy dairy-free sauce that will naturally thicken and caramelize in the oven. YUM. After blending the sauce, chopped rosemary joins the party for an extra flavorful touch. Then it’s time to coat the thinly sliced potatoes in the sauce and add them to the baking dish. We like to use a variety of potatoes because we love pretty colors, but any potato works well! The final touch before the oven is a sprinkle of vegan parmesan (duh) and an extra dash of rosemary (so classy)! After a quick vacay in the oven, the gratin is ready: tender potatoes with crispy edges, coated in garlicky, “cheesy” goodness. And that presentation? Ten out of ten, if we do say so ourselves! We hope you LOVE this vegan potato gratin! It’s:SavoryRichGarlickyComfortingSaucy& SO classic! Enjoy it as part of a holiday spread or as a versatile side dish.
