Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 cups Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 can (10.5 oz) Reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup Chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes. A mandoline slicer is recommended for uniform slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, reduced-fat cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well-mixed.
Add the sliced potatoes and diced onion to the mixing bowl. Toss until the potatoes are well coated with the yogurt mixture.
Transfer half of the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle 1 cup of low-fat cheddar cheese over the potato layer.
Add the remaining potato mixture on top, spreading it evenly in the dish.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of low-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
