What is a gratin?
A gratin is a dish that is usually made with potatoes, cheese, and cream. The potatoes are thinly sliced and layered in a baking dish. They are then covered with cheese and cream before being baked until golden brown and bubbly. This recipe features sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a festive twist.
What kind of cheese should I use?
For this recipe, you can use any type of cheese that you like. If you want to keep it vegan, you can use plant-based cheese or even omit the cheese altogether. If you’re using cheese, I recommend using a sharp cheddar for the best flavor.

Yes! This recipe can be made up to two days in advance. Simply prepare the dish up to the point of baking, cover it tightly with foil, and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake it, let it come to room temperature first, then bake as directed.

Notes
Vegan Globetrotter Tips & Suggestions
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with a green salad and crusty bread for a complete meal. If you're looking to dress it up a bit, top it with fresh thyme or rosemary before serving.
Recipe Notes
- If you can't find almond milk, any other non-dairy milk will work in its place. I like to use coconut milk or cashew milk.
Storing Tips
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until heated through.
Variations
- For a spicier gratin, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the almond milk.
- For a cheesy flavor, stir in 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast flakes after adding the milk mixture.
- Add 1 cup of cooked lentils or beans for extra protein. Lentils work especially well with this dish.
- Top with chopped nuts before serving for some extra crunch. Pecans or walnuts would be great here.
