How to Make Low Fat Potato Supper Cake With Pear Sauce Or Applesauce

  1. **Make Pear Sauce:** Combine 2 ripe but firm pears, peeled, cored, and chopped; 1/4 cup water; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; and 1 teaspoon sugar (optional) in a 1-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes.
  2. Stir occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pears are very tender.
  3. Transfer the pear mixture to a blender or food processor. Pulse until you reach your desired chunkiness.
  4. **Make Potato Cake:** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Spray a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, and 2 large egg whites.
  7. Gently stir in 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and shredded.
  8. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  10. Serve immediately with pear sauce (or applesauce) and a dollop of light sour cream. Enjoy alongside a spring mix salad with a light citrus vinaigrette.
