Equipment

  • 1 pot or pan with high rim

Ingredients

  • 4-5 large potatoes
  • 1 large white onions
  • as needed fresh thyme
  • 150 g vegan cheese grated
  • as needed olive oil and vegan butter
  • 2 Tbsp breadcrumbs

For the gratin cream

  • 100 g cashew nuts
  • 150 ml water
  • 100 ml unsweetened plant milk
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast in flakes
  • as needed salt & pepper

Instructions

  • To soften cashews, boil them for 10-15 minutes or soak them overnight.
  • Peel the potatoes and onion and cut both into fine slices.
  • Take your baking tray or pan and butter it with vegan butter.
  • 3. Turn on the oven at 220°C static top and bottom
  • Begin by composing your gratin. First put a layer of potatoes in starting from the outside and going inward.
  • Add the onions, 1/3 of the cheese, some thyme, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Continue in this order as long as you have ingredients left. Try to finish with onions and cheese.

For the gratin cream

  • Blend the cashews with all the "cream ingredients" until smooth. Don't worry if it is runny; it will thicken during baking.
  • Add the cream over the entire gratin. Finish with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkling of bread crumbs.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the surface of your gratin is nice and golden and crispy.
  • Let the gratin rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
