Potatoes With Onion Sauce and Parmesan Cheese

"For some reason we had stopped eating potatoes. I honestly don't know why. But lately I have re-discovered them and this is one we have enjoyed. This is a slight adaptation from "500 Fat Free Recipes." I have added a little fat to it (the original calls for fat free parmesean which I can no longer find), but it is still quite reasonable in my mind. Also, the original called for putting all the cheese on the top. We felt like a little in the middle would have helped, so I am writing it that way. Feel free to play around with it!"

  1. Oh my goodness. Was this delish. I loved it and so did my son. Picky hubby not so much. I knew that and made him french fries. It had nothing to do with the dish. I used whole milk it was all I had. I didnt use measuring spoons, just eyeballed the pepper measurements in my hand. This is a keeper. Thanks so much, Ladypit. This will get lost of use in my house.
     
  2. Deceptively delicious recipe - more than the sum of its parts. Not your average scalloped-type potatoes recipe, and an extra bonus for being lower in fat. We actually used 2% milk as well (which was what we had in the fridge), waxy yellow potatoes and all the parmesan cheese (I've never found a fat free kind). Putting a layer of cheese in the middle was a great idea, gave it a little more interesting texture. The cheese and onion together gave this a great nutty/sweet taste. WOW! Thanks ladypit:D
     
  3. Very good, especially for so little fat! The sauce was a little thin for us - but I used Wondra instead of cornstarch so maybe that's why (or my potatos just didn't soak it up). Everyone enjoyed this easy side and I have a feeling it's going to be made quite a lot from now on. Thanks!
     
  4. Yummmy is the best way to describe this, loved the onion sauce and the parmesan gives it a wonderful flavour, the bonus is that its low fat, thanks for sharing.
     
  5. Wonderful potato dish. I also like the fact that it doesn't use cream. The onion sauce has just the right combination of seasoning and an excellent consistency to make this dish very tasty. Thanks Jen.
