Yes. For people who can eat wheat, one makes scalloped potatoes with
sliced potatoes and on each layer dabs of butter and sprinkling of
flour. Then you pour scalded milk over the whole and bake it. You are
essentially making a white sauce among the potatoes.

Of course, if you can't use flour then it won't thicken properly. How
about zanthum gum or Not Starch? (Did I get the name of the product
correctly?)
