So those of you who see my stuff on Facebook may have already seen my posting there about this one. This one came one night when I knew I needed to use the rest of the potatoes before they spoiled, and was trying to stick to a healthy diet at the same time. It's a more healthy version of a cheesy potatoes recipe, and it passed the taste test - if the husband likes it, it's gotta be good! ;-)
Of course you could always use full-fat ingredients if you like, but that kinda takes the originality out of it. Take the plunge and try it this way for a change!
Makeover Cottage Potatoes - yield 8 servings, approximately 150 calories each as written
5-6 potatoes, peeled
2 egg whites (1/3 cup)
1 cup fat free sour cream
3/4 cup reduced fat cheddar
1 tsp minced onions
salt/pepper to taste
Slice potatoes 1/8-1/4 inch thick - a mandolin slicer makes this easy if you have one! Separately mix the egg whites, sour cream, onions, salt/pepper and half of the cheese. Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of a baking dish which has been sprayed with cooking spray. Pour half of the egg white mixture evenly over the potatoes. Layer the rest of the potatoes on top and pour the rest of the mixture over the potatoes. Top it with the remaining cheese and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, until golden brown.
