Before making this recipe, I want to talk about the main ingredient of this recipe, Idaho® russet potatoes. You know me, and I create a LOT of delicious potato side dish recipes for the blog. Potatoes are versatile, can be used in so many types of recipes, and my kids love them! (Even my picky one!!)

I decided to change things up with this recipe a bit and incorporate soft goat cheese in the recipe. The goat cheese adds a bit of zing to the cheese sauce. Add in Litehouse freeze-dried spices, and you get a powerful flavor combination! Believe it or not, even my picky one loved this easy gluten free potato recipe!

Recipe step-by-step directions:

Step 1: Use a mandolin slicer to slice your potatoes really thinly.

My favorite potato for this recipe is the Idaho® Russet Potato. Idaho® Red Potatoes and Idaho® Gold Potatoes are also delicious in this recipe!

Step 2: Spread some avocado oil around the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add layers of Idaho® potato slices along the bottom and layer with salt and Litehouse chives and garlic. Keep building up the layers until you use all of the potatoes.

Step 3: Add the cream, water, and goat cheese. Close the Instant Pot and cook on manual for 10 minutes. Use the quick release to let the pressure out.

Step 4: Spoon the cooked potatoes into a casserole dish. Top with mozzarella and chives. Broil for 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Can you make this recipe in an oven?

You can easily make this gluten free potato casserole recipe without an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. You will want to add the sauce ingredients (cream, seasonings, and goat cheese to a small pan and simmer on low until the cheeses are all melted and it bubbles.) 

Add the sliced potatoes to a casserole dish and pour the cheese sauce on top of the potatoes. Bake at 350º F for 25 minutes until the potatoes are softening. Remove from the oven and add the mozzarella cheese and chives on top. Bake an additional 10 minutes. Test to make sure your potatoes are soft.

Baking time will vary if you use a mandolin slicer or slice by hand. Thicker potato slices will take longer to bake.

Notes

1. Russet potatoes are one of my favorites to use in this recipe.

2. You can make this recipe in the oven by layering the potatoes in a 9x13 dish and baking at 350º F.

3. You do not have to broil the cheese after cooking in the Instant Pot, this is an optional step.

4. These potatoes will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
