Reduced Fat Pommes Anna (Potatoes Anna)

Submitted by mortarandpestle

"I made this recipe up after spending ages looking for a less fattening version of Pommes Anna. I used everyday Desiree potatoes - I think any type of potato would work. You can also omit the cheese or change to a hard cheese like Parmesan. I also have added garlic salt instead of regular on some occasions. The potatoes need slicing down to about 1-2mm thick to make this the best."
