I've shared a recipe for tasty mashed potatoes, we've talked perfecting the baked potato, and I've reached food nirvana with the cheese-less potato casserole. But this recipe today is extra special. There's something that just says "you made a lot of effort" about homemade scalloped potatoes, but that béchamel is a no-no for the dairy-free crowd. So here we have the perfect dairy-free scalloped potatoes for holidays or a weeknight dinner, and they're really simple to make.

Scalloped potatoes seem daunting, but it's mostly just prep (made easy with a very sharp knife!), and then the dish can hang out on the sideline until it's baked for the main event.
My goal for this recipe was to flip the traditional dish into something that Julia can enjoy with her food restrictions, which meant that butter, cheese and all-purpose flour were out. I turned to my favorite substitutions to keep that creamy, indulgent feeling. They're going to please everyone around the table!
So give these try this Easter, Christmas, or random Tuesday night. And don't feel like you need to tell any of the dairy-eaters that they're dairy free - they're just so, so delicious I doubt anyone will bat an eye.
