Vegan Scalloped Potatoes (using creamy White Bean Sauce)

This recipe is virtually FAT FREE, has good-for-you fiber, no cholesterol from cheese or dairy and is thick, creamy, and filling! 



First Get Ready -

Smaller Pyrex glass baking dish, next size down from 9x13 (unless you are using more potatoes)

Set oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients

Potatoes (I had 4 medium red potatoes in my Produce Box), thinly sliced
1 can White Beans, not drained
1 c. Water
1/4 c. Flour (I used white flour)
1/2 c. - 1 c. Nutritional Yeast (for "cheesy" flavor and orange color), optional, but worth it
2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Paprika

Method

In a blender (love my Vita-Mix!), combine all ingredients (except paprika and potatoes), puree until a smooth sauce

Set aside

Spray Pyrex with cooking spray and layer sliced potatoes, filling all of baking dish

Pour "cheese sauce" over layered potatoes and sprinkle paprika over sauce

Bake for 45-60 min. until potatoes are tender to a knife piercing
