Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1.5 cups Unsalted chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 0.5 cup Reduced-fat milk (2%)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Sharp reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0 as needed Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for best results, if you have one.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, reduced-fat milk, and flour until smooth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and smooth.

Step 5

Spread 1/3 of the potato slices in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour 1/3 of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly with a spoon. Repeat this process two more times, ending with the cheese sauce on top.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy your calorie-trimmed cheesy scalloped potatoes!
