This vegan caramelized onion scalloped potatoes dish blends the richness of caramelized onions with the creaminess of a luscious cashew-based sauce, all nestled around tender thin potato slices. Way back in the early days of hot for food, I created a RECIPE?! for scalloped potatoes you might recall. Followers continue to make that recipe with a lot of success, but I felt I needed to update it for my preferences. It’s not that different, but it doesn’t use any vegan cheese products and has fewer ingredients in the sauce. However, it still packs a very flavorful punch with the addition of the caramelized onions.

This dish is not only a Thanksgiving favorite but also perfect for any holiday celebration you’re throwing. Impress your guests with this culinary masterpiece and create a new tradition that celebrates delicious comfort food and a compassionate lifestyle. Enjoy your holiday feasts!

vegan caramelized onion scalloped potatoes

Ingredients

1 ½ to 1 ¾ lbs russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced¼ C + 1 tbsp salted vegan butter, divided1 C raw cashews, soaked for 20 minutes in hot water1 ½ C + ½ C fresh hot water, divided2 tsp vegan chicken-flavored bouillon paste2 tsp white wine vinegar1 tbsp nutritional yeast½ tsp sea salt½ tsp ground black pepper3 garlic cloves, minced1 tbsp fresh thyme, tender stems and leaves finely chopped

Instructions

In a large oven safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1/4 cup of vegan butter. Toss in onions and a pinch of salt, coating the onions in butter. Then continue to cook, only tossing occasionally to caramelize. Total cook time is about 30 minutes or until evenly golden brown and caramelized. Lower heat as needed to prevent burning.Meanwhile you can make the sauce. Drain the cashews from the soaking water, and add to a high powered blender with 1 ½ cups of hot water, bouillon, paste, white wine vinegar, nutritional yeast, sea salt, and ground pepper. Blend until very very smooth and set aside.Preheat oven to 400°F close to when the onions are nearly done.Remove the caramelized onions onto a plate and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, minced garlic, and thyme to the pan and sauté about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat on the pan, if needed, to prevent garlic from burning. Add sliced potatoes in thirds, and toss in the mixture to coat evenly. Once all the potatoes are in the pan add ½ cup of hot water and a lid to the pan. Cook 5 to 6 minutes. Remove lid, add in the cashew cream, gently toss the potatoes in the sauce and arrange in an even layer. Turn off the heat. Add caramelized onions on top in an even layer. I found it easiest to use my fingers to place them on top.Place the entire skillet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
