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