Scalloped potatoes are a classic side dish for any meal, and one of my absolute favorites at any and every holiday. This recipe for healthier, paleo and Whole30 scalloped potatoes is diary free but doesn’t lack any of the creamy, delicious flavor we know and love. As you’re planning your menu for this upcoming holiday, these should definitely be making an appearance!

This recipe for scalloped potatoes is beautiful and delicious, but it lacks one teeny thing – all of the dairy. Don’t worry though, it’s still every bit as creamy as your Grandma’s recipe, and I promise it’s a side dish you’ll want to make over and over again.
I used chicken bone broth collagen from Vital Proteins. It’s a powdered form of bone broth which has replaced all of my liquid boxed bone broth. I realized how much money I was wasting by opening a container of expensive Whole30 compliant liquid broth, using one or two cups for a recipe, and letting the rest go bad.
Boxed broth is only good for 7 days once it’s opened, and somehow it always ended up in the back of my fridge, lost and forgotten about. This was a huge waste of money, especially because bone broth without junk in it isn’t cheap. I also ended up stock piling it in my cupboard, wasting tons of space. Vital Proteins Whole30 Approved bone broth solves both those issues and I’m just happy to invest in a product that means I’m not wasting money not using up all of my bone broth.

No powdered bone broth? No problem! Liquid broth still works just as well in this recipe!
The bone broth mixed with diary free milk combines perfectly in these Whole30 scalloped potatoes to make a rich and creamy sauce the potatoes will cook in. I added some mushrooms and onions prior to cooking, and didn’t forget the garlic! This side dish really is one of the best tasting scalloped potatoes I’ve had in a while. And I’m not just sayin’ that because I made them!
Enjoy!

Two years in a row making this with Christmas dinner. I use sweet potatoes and chop up extra mushrooms and add it to the sauce. Family loves this dish!

I just put these in the oven. It smells amazing!! I made a mistake, I used a can of coconut milk instead of cream so I cut the broth down to 1/4 cup hoping they won’t be too watery. The sauce thickened up nicely so fingers crossed! My oven tends to cook fast so I set the timer for 50 minutes. Serving with chicken and a salad with compliant dressing. Anxious to dig in!

Made these for Thanksgiving last year, and just searched for them so I could bookmark to make this year again! They were delicious- a creamy sauce with perfectly roasted potatoes, not soggy at all. Thank you for another awesome recipe!

Did you peel the potatoes first? Where did you use the ghee, I couldn’t find it in the instructions. Looking forward to making this for Thanksgiving.
paleobailey says
I don’t peel them first, but you could if you wanted! And thank you for pointing that out – I updated it!

Can you make this without the bone broth collagen?

Absolutely! Just substitute liquid broth for the water!
