Worthy of a Special Occasion

This can be baked in a casserole or individual gratin dishes.

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup  1% low-fat milk
  • 1  cup  apple cider
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 1/8  teaspoon  ground nutmeg
  • 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded smoked Gouda cheese
  • 1/2  cup  (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Jarlsberg cheese
  • 2  pounds  Yukon gold or yellow Finnish potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Place the flour in a medium saucepan. Gradually add the milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Stir in cider, broth, salt, pepper, and nutmeg; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Combine cheeses in a small bowl. Arrange half of the potato slices in a shallow 3-quart casserole, and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese mixture. Arrange the remaining potato slices on top. Pour the cider mixture over the potatoes, and bake at 425° for 25 minutes. Remove from oven; press potatoes with a spatula. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese mixture, and bake an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 10 minutes.

I served this this year in place of the usual calorie laden cheesey potato casseole we usually have. It was a huge hit - even among family member who turn their noses up at healthier low fat recipes! I made 1.5 times the recipe and put in the same size dish. I did add a bit of extra cheese, not much though. We loved it - prepared prettty much as written - the whole 9X13 inch casserole was devoured with many having "seconds". This will definitely be on our menu for family dinners from now on. Thanks for a great recipe! Trish, Omaha, NE04/13/09
