Boulanger Potatoes are a rustic French side dish featuring layers of thinly sliced potatoes baked in a savory broth, delivering a comforting and aromatic experience. This vegan version maintains the dish's traditional essence while providing a delightful plant-based alternative.

Ingredients

• Yukon Gold potatoes - 400 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, thinly sliced

• Vegetable broth - 300 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the sliced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. In a baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom, then add half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture, and sprinkle with half of the thyme, salt, and pepper.
