Baby Potato Grantins
Ingredients
- 10 baby organic potatoes
- 2/3 cup unsweetened plant milk ( i like cashew)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese ( i like follow your heart & violife brands)
- 1 tbsp of vegan butter
- 1 tbsp of all purpose flour
- 1 tsp of fresh thyme
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp of onion powder
- 1 heaping tsp of grain or sharp mustard
- salt & pepper to taste
Preparation
In a large pan, on medium- low heat completely melt the butter
Add in the flour and use a whisk to mix well until all the liquid is absorbed
Add in the plant milk and keep whisking until the roux or butter- flour mixture has completely dissolved
Add in the herbs and spices and keep mixing for a minute or two before adding in the shredded cheese
Keep whisking everything as the cheese melts and becomes velvety smooth
If you find the sauce a little thick just add in a bit more milk
Add in the mustard and mix well
Lower the heat to a simmer
Slice the potatoes very thin and toss them into the cheese sauce making sure they are coated well
Pour the coated potatoes into two individual baking dishes or one larger one
Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45 minutes
Remove foil and broil at 375 for an additional 10-15 minutes until nicely browned
Garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves
