How to Make Low Calorie Parmesan Potatoes Au Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a large (9x13 inch) casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes.
  4. Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Add enough water to cover and bring to a boil.
  5. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain well.
  6. Let potatoes stand for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
  7. While potatoes cook, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms (roux).
  9. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency (about 8 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Thinly slice 1/2 medium yellow onion.
  11. Arrange half of the potato slices in the prepared casserole dish.
  12. Layer with half of the onion slices.
  13. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and onions.
  14. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.
  15. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion.
  16. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.
  17. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  18. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
