Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Almond Milk (Pacific Brand preferred)
  • 2 Tbsp. Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 Tbsp. Butter
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • ½ tsp Nutmeg
  • 3 Large Potatoes (mix of Sweet and Russet)
  • 1½ Cups Gruyere or White Cheddar Cheese (grated)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ Onion (chopped)
  • ⅔ Cup Herbed Bread Crumbs - Whole Wheat (see recipe below)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. In a medium saucepan, with stove off, add almond milk, flour, butter, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Turn heat to medium and stir constantly until it comes to a slow simmer. Next add ¾ cup of grated cheese and stir until well blended and you don’t feel any pieces. In a skillet, add olive oil and chopped onions. Cook onions on medium for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently until clear and almost brown. Add onions to almond milk mixture and stir. Chop potatoes into round slices, or use a mandolin. In a baking pan/dish fan or layer potato slices. Pour almond milk mixture over potatoes. Use a spatula to make sure it covers all the potatoes. Place dish, uncovered, in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. Add remaining cheese and breadcrumbs to the top and bake another 7-8 minutes until melted and begins to get crispy on the edges. Use a fork to make sure sweet potatoes are soft, and add more time in the oven if needed.
