Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 ml dairy free cream (not coconut cream)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 kg potatoes (pick a starchy variety such as Maris Piper or King Edward)
  • 175 g dairy free cheese (grated)
  • dairy free butter for greasing

Instructions
 

  • PREPARE. Preheat the oven to 170°C fan (190°C conventional / 375°F / gas mark 5) and grease a medium sized baking dish by rubbing the sides and base with vegan butter.
    Note: You should use a baking dish that is approximately 25cm x 15cm x 6cm (10” x 6” x 2.5”) for optimal results.

  • SLICE POTATOES. Peel the potatoes and then slice them thinly (around 2.5-3mm / 0.1”), using a mandoline slicer.

  • MIX TOGETHER. Add in the sliced potatoes to the bowl with the cream and stir gently, using your hands, to evenly coat the potatoes.

  • Remove the foil and sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 grated cheese (87g).
  • Bake, uncovered, for a further 15 minutes until the top is golden. Test with a knife in the centre to make sure the potatoes feel tender and cooked through.
  • REST. Allow to stand for 10 minutes before serving.
