Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of the almond milk to create a slurry. Set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the remaining almond milk and the cornstarch slurry. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add in the sliced potatoes, fresh thyme, fresh rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly with the sauce.
Cover the skillet with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
