If you are a fan of cheesy potatoes, then this Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes Recipe is a must-try. It’s so delicious and so filling, yet just 6 Points per serving.
It’s such a great side dish recipe to serve that always ends up being a hit. By adding some nonfat Greek yogurt to the cheese sauce, I was able to give it a lot more volume and some extra protein, while cutting out fat and calories. Seriously, my potato slices were swimming in cheese sauce, and that’s exactly how I like it!
Because these au gratin potatoes are rich and filling, I’d suggest serving them as a side to a light main dish, like grilled chicken or a salad. But these are definitely a carb and cheese lover’s dream.
Enjoy!
Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes Recipe
These cheesy potatoes are to die for…so creamy and rich, and absolutely smothered in cheese. It’s a healthier version of a more traditional potatoes au gratin recipe and has a lot fewer calories and fat.
Equipment
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes - sliced about ¼” thick
- 1 small onion - sliced into rings
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 oz reduced fat cream cheese
- 2 cups fat free milk
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
- Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 1-quart casserole dish with non-fat cooking spray.
- Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until the mixture has thickened. Stir in cream cheese, shredded cheese, and yogurt all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about a minute or so.
- Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 1-1 ½ hours, or until potatoes are cooked through, and the top of potatoes has begun to brown and crisp.
