Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fat-free half-and-half
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Use a mandoline slicer if available for even slices.
In a medium saucepan, combine the fat-free half-and-half, minced garlic, thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Heat over medium heat until warmed through but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
Spread half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour half of the warm half-and-half mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top, followed by the rest of the half-and-half mixture, and finish with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Allow the gratin to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Divide into 6 equal portions and enjoy!
