The holiday season is coming to an end, but we still need to make it through weeks of cold and snow. My boys embrace the snow, enjoying time outside sledding and playing. I’m not such a big fan! However, the winter months are a good time to cook and bake delicious food for my family.

Cold weather is the perfect time to try new recipes for comfort food.

Potatoes are a staple at our house – we love roasted potatoes and oven roasted french fries. But sometimes it’s nice to take a bit more time and make a fancier dish.

These dairy free kale scalloped potatoes are creamy, flavorful, and the perfect potato side dish to try on a weekend. These go well with beef, chicken, pork, or anything, really! The first time we made these, Darryl and I couldn’t stop eating them.

If you’re not a fan of kale, you may still want to give these a try. Using the immersion blender to blend the kale into the sauce makes it really easy to eat. And with the longer cooking time, the kale becomes really tender.

What kind of coconut milk works best to make these kale scalloped potatoes?

Use canned full fat coconut milk to make the creamy sauce for this dish. The coconut cream adds a wonderful richness to the sauce. I have made this recipe with Thai Kitchen coconut milk as well as Native Forest coconut milk, but any brand of full fat coconut milk that’s safe for your diet should work just fine.

Does this dish taste like coconut?

No, it really doesn’t. There is a very mild coconut flavor, but with the onion, garlic, and kale, the slight coconut flavor is barely noticeable.

Can I make this ahead of time?

I haven’t tried making this ahead of time, but the next day, the leftovers taste great! I think it would be okay to make it ahead of time and then reheat the next day before serving.

What kind of potatoes should I use for this recipe?

I used Yukon Golds and they worked really well. Their flavor and texture is perfect for making scalloped potatoes. You could also try red skin potatoes, but I really think that the flavor is best with Yukon Golds.

How do you make kale scalloped potatoes?

  3. Add the kale leaves, broth, and spices. Cook over medium heat for about 7 minutes, until the kale is tender.
  4. Add the full fat coconut milk, and stir. Use an immersion blender to blend sauce.
  5. Mix the cornstarch with some broth and add to the sauce to thicken it.
  6. Once the sauce is thickened, pour over the potatoes and onion. Cover the pan with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then uncover the pan and bake for an additional hour and 10 minutes.
