Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Boil a large pot of water, add a pinch of salt, and then add the potatoes. Cook until just tender, about 10-12 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped onion to the saucepan. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together almond milk and cornstarch until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Reduce the heat to low on the saucepan, then gradually add the almond milk mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Add nutritional yeast, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens, around 3-4 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot.
Pour the creamy sauce over the potatoes, gently folding them in to coat well.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
