Potatoes Au Gratin
Cooking Light's cheesy au gratin potato dish has a low-fat Swiss cheese sauce and thin-sliced potatoes that are baked in a casserole until browned and bubbly.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine first 4 ingredients in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Cover; let stand 10 minutes. Pour milk mixture through a sieve over a large bowl, reserving liquid; discard solids.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 3
Place potato in a medium saucepan. Cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Simmer 15 minutes or until tender; drain. Place in a large bowl; set aside.
Step 4
Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; saute 3 minutes or until soft. Stir in flour; gradually add reserved milk. Stir with a whisk until blended. Bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute or until slightly thick; stir constantly. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour milk mixture over potato; toss. Spoon potato into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Broil 5 minutes or until lightly browned.

I thought this was a great recipe - I made it for my 12 year old who loves Au Gratin-anything and she loved it! She couldn't tell that they were lightened up. I would definitely make this again!

We wanted a good side for our Christmas Buffet Dinner for 16 people that was lighter than the traditional version. So we tried this one out a few weeks earlier and loved it enough to use it in our Christmas Buffet. I doubled the recipe (and will make 2 batches for 16 people). The only change I made was adding 1 cup of fat free Half & half per 8 servings. It added 20 calories per serving, but was still light and delicious.
