Be the first to Gold potatoes are combined with onions and a hint of garlic, then cooked in low-fat milk and chicken broth for full flavor. These scalloped potatoes are low-calorie and low-fat.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
- Olive or vegetable oil spray
- 1 garlic clove, split
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus additional to taste
- 2-1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (see note)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups lowfat milk
- 1 cup defatted lower-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons snipped chives
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with oil spray and rub with the cut sides of the garlic clove.Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the salt and pepper and stir to continue.
Cover the bottom of the baking dish with about one third of the gold potatoes. Spread with half the onion mixture and sprinkle with half the flour. Make another layer of gold potatoes and spread with the remaining onions and flour. Top with a layer of gold potatoes.
Heat the milk and broth to simmer in a saucepan and pour over the potatoes. The liquid should come just to the top of the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake, uncovered, until the potatoes are soft and most of the liquid is absorbed, 50 to 60 minutes. Sprinkle with chives before serving.
Note: If you can't find Yukon Gold potatoes, you can substitute all-purpose potatoes, decreasing the flour in the recipe to 1 tablespoon.
