Potato's Au Gratin

Doesn't this dish look naughty!!!!! Well it is not.

I found the recipe on My Vegan Cookbook Web Site. For once I did not change anything in the recipe, except it suggested making the dish up with no cooking or sauteing, but just assembling and microwaving.

I chose to saute the veggies and then bake in the oven after assembling. I served this with my "meatloaf" (last posting) It was a really nice combination with fresh greens from the garden. Yes in spite of all the rain and cool weather I have spinach and radishes in my garden. Because I put up the 6 ft.. fence around my garden, I actually am getting veggies and not feeding all those cute wild critters. I really enjoyed this recipe. Yum yum!!

Ingredients:

• 4 scrubbed and peeled medium potato-cut into 1/8" slices


• 1 red bell pepper-cut into small pieces


• 1 medium onion-cut into 1/8 " slices


• 2 clove garlic minced- I put more in, maybe 3-4


• 1/2 cup Nutritional Yeast-Remember that gives it a cheesy flavor
