Our cheesy potatoes au gratin is the perfect comfort food for those

cool autumn nights.

 

 

Ingredients

 

 

 

1 tbsp butter

1 medium onion(s), thinly sliced

2 tbsp all-purpose flour

2 cup(s) fat-free milk

2 pound uncooked potato(es), all-purpose, thinly sliced

1 cup(s) low-fat shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp table salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

 

 

 

Instructions

 

 

 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2-quart covered baking dish with

cooking spray.

 

 

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook,

stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in flour; add milk slowly, stirring. Add potatoes (if you can

find Yukon Gold potatoes, use them instead of all-purpose ones for a

richer, more buttery taste). Stir to mix. Bring to a boil. Stir in

3/4 cup of cheese, salt and pepper.

 

 

Pour mixture into prepared baking dish and level out surface. Bake

for 1 hour, uncovered. Cover and bake until potatoes are fork-tender,

about 20 minutes more.

 

 

Change oven temperature to broil. Sprinkle remaining cheese over

potatoes. Broil 6 inches from the heating element until the cheese is

golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes

before slicing into 8 pieces.
