Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs golden potatoes

  • ¼ cup coconut oil

  • 3 tbsp arrowroot starch

  • 1 ½ cups full-fat coconut milk

  • ½ cup vegetable broth

  • ⅓ cup nutritional yeast

  • ½ tsp dried rosemary

  • 1 tbsp garlic powder

  • ¼ tsp dried thyme

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tbsp sea salt

  • Diced chives for topping, optional

Instructions:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet with coconut oil and set aside.

2) Slice the potatoes into very thin slices and set aside.

3) In a large saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Whisk in the arrowroot starch until the mixture becomes thick (about 1 minute). 

4) Add the remaining ingredients into the saucepan and continue to heat over medium heat. Mix ingredients together well for about 5 minutes, or until mixture becomes thick and opaque. Remove from heat.

5) Place ⅓ of the potato slices in the cast iron skillet in an overlapping layer. Pour ⅓ of the sauce over the potatoes. Repeat this process two more times.

6) Cover the dish with tin foil and bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove the tin foil and bake for an extra 30 minutes or until potatoes are golden and crispy. Top with diced chives if preferred and enjoy!
