dairy-free potato gratin
Cuisine: French
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 45 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 big onion
  • 700g potatoes, peeled
  • 4 tablespoons margarine
  • 4 tablespoons potato starch
  • 2 cups soy milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of paprika
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  3. In a food processor, thinly slice the onion. Fry the onion in the saucepan until soft, about 3 minutes. Set aside with the remaining oil.
  4. Slice the potatoes in the food processor. Set aside.
  5. Melt the margarine in the saucepan on low heat. Gradually add in the potato starch and stir to combine until it ressembles a thick paste. Add the soy milk, increase heat to medium-high, and cook stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  6. Spread 3 tablespoons of the white sauce over the bottom of a Pyrex. Add two layers of potato slices and top with a layer of onion slices. Cover with 3 more tablespoons of white sauce. Continue layering until you have no more potatoes, finishing with a layer of potatoes topped with white sauce. Sprinkle the top with paprika and a bit of black pepper.
  7. Cook for 45 minutes until the top appears golden. Serve warm.
