Vegan Potato Bake (Potatoes au Gratin) not only makes a hearty main or side dish for your holiday dinner, but it is also great for your weeknight dinner. Besides, this satisfying dish is really easy to master. Furthermore, this recipe doesn’t contain fancy ingredients and is ready in about an hour.

Of all the ways to cook potatoes, au gratin is maybe my favorite. And if I am in the mood for healthier potatoes au gratin, then this recipe hits the spot perfectly. It is dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and paleo-friendly. I use cashews, vegetable broth and non-dairy milk to create a rich sauce for this casserole. Sautéing mushrooms, onions, and garlic delivers a flavorful layer, in-between sliced potatoes, zucchini, and dairy-free vegan sauce. The bake is simple to make if you have a mandolin. But if you don’t, then slice the potatoes as thinly as you can with the help of a sharp chef’s knife. Also, make sure that you slice zucchini a bit thicker than potatoes.

To make the Vegan Potato Bake (Potatoes au Gratin), you will need the following ingredients:
