Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniform slices.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring well to combine.
Add nutritional yeast, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir and let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange one-third of the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour one-third of the coconut milk mixture over the potatoes, spreading it out with a spoon to cover the slices evenly.
Repeat layers twice more with the remaining potatoes and coconut milk mixture.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Allow the gratin to cool for about 10 minutes before sprinkling freshly chopped parsley on top.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a main course.
