Au gratin potatoes is an easy dish that goes with almost anything! The ingredients are cheap and you probably already have them in your pantry or fridge! This is a slightly lightened version *so I can eat a little more of it yay me!*. Give this a try if you’re bored of the same old mashed potato as a side every week. *I still love you mashed potatoes, you complete me!* 💕
We had this yummy cheesy potato dish with cajun grilled salmon and roasted garlic asparagus! Here’s my salmon stealing superhero Hailey ❤ 😀
INGREDIENTS
-
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1 -2 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded low-fat cheese ( I use extra sharp cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- DIRECTIONS
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Thinly slice potatoes (I used my food processor, I love that thing)
- Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a large frypan over medium heat; add in onion and cook stirring occasionally until onion begins to brown (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in flour, then slowly add in milk.
- Add in potatoes; stir to mix; bring to a boil.
- Stir in 1 cup cheese, salt and black pepper.
- Pour mixture into prepared baking dish then spread out.
- Bake for 1 hour uncovered.
- After 1 hour cooking time cover with foil and continue to bake another 20 minutes more.
- Change oven to broil heat.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over potatoes and broil 6-inches from heat until the cheese is golden (about 1-2 minutes).
- Cool 5 minutes before serving
Yum – these look delicious. Thanks for the great recipe.
