Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb mushrooms sliced
  • 4-6 garlic cloves pressed
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp gluten-free flour or 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cups milk of choice we used 2 %
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 lb Russet or Gold Potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • Optional: freshly chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Butter a 9” x 13” baking dish. Set aside.
  • In a rimmed pan, heat the oil. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the excess liquid has evaporated, stir in the onions and garlic and continue to saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour, then pour the broth, little by little, while stirring to remove any lumps.
  • Add the soy sauce, milk, and salt and pepper.
  • The gravy will be a bit salty, but don't worry, potatoes will absorb a lot and reduce the salty flavor.
  • Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and coat the back of a spoon. Set aside.
  • Drizzle a bit of oil and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Layer half of your potato slices and top with half of the mushroom gravy. Stir a bit to get the sauce through the potato slices. Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan cheese.
  • Repeat with layers and top with the cheddar cheese.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour; Remove foil and continue to bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden-brown.
  • Allow the dish to cool for 15 minutes, then garnish with parsley, if desired.

Notes

  • use any milk of your choice 
  • russet or golden yellow potatoes work
  • any mushroom of your choice, button mushrooms will be optimal
