These gluten free scalloped potatoes are pure comfort food. Delicious potatoes and ham in a creamy, silky sauce – this recipe is a classic.
Is there anything more comforting than potatoes in a creamy sauce? A creamy sauce that’s free of gluten and dairy, no less?
This recipe for gluten free scalloped potatoes is so easy to make, and it’s just as delicious as the classic recipe. Gluten free flour and non-dairy milk yield a silky, creamy sauce that’s impossible to resist.
They really are hard to resist. When I made these the other day, Darryl and I couldn’t stop eating them. We were standing around the kitchen, practically licking our plates. Finally Darryl said, I have to go outside, or I won’t be able to stop eating these. They are that good.Â
It does take a while to bake these gluten free scalloped potatoes, but the long baking time results in very tender potatoes and a nice golden brown finish on top. This dish is cozy and comforting, and perfect for serving on Christmas Eve.
Tips for making these gluten free scalloped potatoes extra delicious:
- Yukon gold potatoes are a great choice – they have a wonderful flavor and texture
- slice the potatoes very thin – that way they will cook evenly be very tender
- the ham is optional, but adds a nice flavor, and a little saltiness

This is a favorite recipe for us, too. I do not use flour. I replace 1/2 of the coconut milk with Taste of Thai coconut cream ad coconut milk.(canned). So very good. Thanks for sharing your recipes.
So glad you enjoy these! Thank you for letting me know.
This recipe was amazing!! I added crushed garlic and leftover bacon since I didn’t have ham. Outstanding!
This was delicious!!
I’ll be sharing this on my website very soon!
This recipe is so good! Thank you!
This was so amazing. I also added some dill and garlic. I have a kid with FPIES and we can’t do any of the top allergies. It’s hard to find good tasting foods. This is a keeper. Five stars all the way. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
This was delicious! Full disclosure: I swapped the non-dairy milk for heavy whipping cream, and I added 2 cloves of finely chopped garlic to the onions. I also added diced ham to make this a main dish, accompanied by steamed broccoli florets. I will definitely make this again!
I made your dish for Christmas dinner, and it was enjoyed very much! Thank you for sharing it! The sauce was so smooth and had a delicious flavor. I used Smart Balance butter and unsweetened coconut milk.
Delicious recipe!
Recipe was excellent. Are used white rice flour to thicken. I’m gonna make it again .Thank you.
Hi Kelly,
These scalloped potatoes look so yummy! Thanks for sharing a great recipe. We’re going to make them this weekend. A comment below gave me the idea to try the yukon golds shingled with sweet potatoes. We love them both!
Thank you, I hope you love this recipe!
Do you have a suggestion for what substitute the potatoes with? I love scalloped potatoes but can’t eat potato.
Are there any root vegetables you can have? Turnips? Rutabaga?
Great anecdote! Have to try this soon, minus the ham. I wonder how chopped capers would work as a little salty burst here and there?
That sounds like it would be a nice addition! Let me know if you try it!
