I'm doing Weight Watchers and I'm really missing rich cheesy foods like scalloped potatoes so I developed this dish using fat free and low fat dairy products and it's so good! Hope you like it too! Ingredients:
6 cups potatoes, cubed |
2 tablespoons fat-free margarine (i use i can't believe it's not butter fat free) |
1/2 cup onion, chopped |
3/4 cup nonfat milk |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 cup plain fat-free yogurt |
1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, divided |
1 teaspoon spicy mustard |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 large green onion, chopped |
Directions:
1. Boil cubed potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes, until just tender. Drain.
2. Melt fat-free margarine in a saucepan; saute onion until tender.
3. In a measuring cup, combine milk and flour; add to onions.
4. Cook and stir a minute or two until thickened.
5. Turn off heat and stir in yogurt, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, spicy mustard, 1 tablespoon Parmesan, salt, pepper and green onion.
6. It's okay that the cheese doesn't melt at this step.
7. In a mixing bowl, combine hot cooked potatoes and onion/cheese sauce.
8. Pour into casserole dish that has been sprayed with Pam.
9. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar and 1 Tablespoon Parmesan cheese over top.
10. Bake in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 15 minutes until bubbling.
11. Cool for about 5 minutes to thicken before serving.
