Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.02 lb Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
  • 2 tbsp light butter melted
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.75 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 pinch nutmeg freshly grated
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • salt and fresh pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Lightly grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, melted butter, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Arrange half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the Cheddar cheese. Layer the remaining potato slices on top.
  5. In a small saucepan, bring the milk, bay leaf, and nutmeg to a boil. Pour this mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can substitute some of the Cheddar cheese with Gruyere. If you find the potatoes are browning too quickly, you can loosely tent the dish with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
