This recipe for Friendsgiving Gluten Free Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes is sponsored by Sprouts Farmer’s Market. All thoughts and ideas are my own.

If you’re planning a fun Thanksgiving meal with friends (aka, Friendsgiving) this year, these Friendsgiving Gluten Free Au Gratin Potatoes need to be on your menu! They’re easy to make, and are loaded with flavor, so everyone will love them.

I prefer to buy most of these ingredients (dairy and potatoes, especially) organic when I can. I love that Sprouts offers affordable prices on many organic foods, including the ones needed for this dish.

Here’s a few things to keep in mind when making Friendsgiving Gluten Free Au Gratin Potatoes:

Make sure to cut the potatoes thin enough or it will take longer to cook.
If you prefer to use a different type of grated cheese, go for it!
The cream cheese gives this dish a delicious creaminess, but if you want to cut back a little on this you can.
The heavy whipping cream can be subbed for a plant-based version if needed, or you can reduce the quantity some as well.
For the ground crackers, feel free to use any gluten free option (if needed). I love Simple Mills Rosemary & Sea Salt Almond Flour Crackers. Sprouts has these for a great price, and they go on sale frequently for an even better deal.
