Recipe for vegan creamy coconut "au gratin" potatoes?

Question

My favorite person tried a vegan version of potatoes au gratin made with coconut milk at a vegan diner.

The potatoes weren't "cheesy" just really creamy with just a hint of the coconut flavor. I'm trying to find a good recipe to replicate them for a special dinner! Please Help!

Answer 1

the only one i could find is this one. the only thing that makes it "cheesy" is the cheddar soy cheese. maybe you could omit that and play aroun with the recipe?
