NUTRITIONAL YEAST: This deactivated yeast comes in flake or powder form and adds a “cheesy” flavor to this dish.
OTHER INGREDIENTS: ghee, almond oil, minced garlic, vegetable broth, garlic powder, onion powder, ground pepper, sea salt, thyme
HOW TO MAKE WHOLE30 SCALLOPED POTATOES FROM SCRATCH
Step 1
First, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add ghee and almond oil to a skillet. Once melted, whisk in tapioca flour to create a thick sauce.
Step 2
Then, add in minced garlic, broth, coconut cream, nutritional yeast, garlic powder and onion powder.
Step 3
Bring to a light boil before reducing to a light simmer. Add in ground pepper and sea salt. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Then, remove from heat.
Step 4
Meanwhile, use a mandolin or sharp knife to slice potatoes as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. Next, arrange sliced potatoes in a casserole dish. Then, pour sauce over potatoes.
Step 5
Cover casserole dish with tin foil. Then, bake for 45 minutes. Remove tin foil and bake an additional 35 to 40 minutes or until potatoes have softened.
Step 6
For extra crispy potatoes, broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes or until tops of potatoes are golden.
Step 7
Finally, remove from oven and garnish Whole30 Scalloped Potatoes with fresh thyme if desired.
