Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams Potatoes
- 250 ml Skim milk
- 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes to about 1/8 inch thick using a mandoline or sharp knife.
Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until translucent.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for another 1 minute, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and pour in the skim milk, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just tender.
Transfer the potato mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the potato mixture, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let the gratin rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
