Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes

I was recently invited to be a part of the #TasteSilkAlmond Taste Challenge program and was so excited to prove to my mom that Silk Almondmilk CAN be substituted for dairy milk!  I rocked out these Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes to win her over.

Have you tried Silk Almondmilk?  It’s always in my fridge because I use it in smoothies, eat cereal with it and use it in some of my recipes.

When I first told my mom that I was making this dish of scalloped potatoes in celebration of the arrival of autumn, she was a little skeptical at first.  Mama just couldn’t imagine pumpkin and potatoes being together.  I didn’t tell her I was using almondmilk in the recipe, either.

I used my Skinny Scalloped Potatoes recipe with almondmilk as a building block for creating this dish, and just went from there until I got the perfect balance of pumpkin, Swiss cheese and spices incorporated.

Needless to say, these scalloped potatoes with a creamy, Swiss cheesy pumpkin sauce seasoned with chipotle pepper and thyme won her over.  THEN I told her I used Silk Vanilla Almondmilk.  It added just a hint of vanilla to the cheesy pumpkin flavored sauce.  She couldn’t believe the creamy texture of the sauce with using almondmilk!

I’d say I won my challenge!

Enjoy!
