Vegan Au Gratin Potatoes - Gluten Free

When we decided to start eating healthier we cut a lot of things out of our diet. Wheat and dairy were two of those things. But our cheese addiction made this extremely difficult. Then we discovered something amazing. Daiya dairy free cheeses. The taste is amazing and for the first time we have found a dairy free cheese that actually melts. It's perfect for pizzas, pastas or just about anything else you would normally use cheese for. We had thought that we would have to give up Au Gratin Potatoes entirely unless we wanted to cheat. But now we can have them any time we want. 

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 tbsp margarine
4 oz cheddar Daiya wedge
4 oz jack Daiya wedge
1/2 tsp mustard powder
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
dash chili powder
salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste
3 large-ish potatoes
shredded cheddar Daiya
shredded mozzarella Daiya

Slice potatoes, cook for about 10 minutes in boiling water. Meanwhile, melt all but the shredded Daiya in a saucepan. Drain potatoes, spread evenly in a baking dish, pour Daiya sauce evenly over potatoes. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, then top with shredded Daiya and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Cool for a bit before biting into the lava-like cheesiness.
