Ingredients

  • 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, minced
  • 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 stalks Green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice them thinly, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the potato slices with olive oil, minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange half of the potato slices in a lightly greased baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

Step 5

Pour half of the low-sodium vegetable broth over the potato layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle half of the grated low-fat cheddar cheese over the potatoes.

Step 7

Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, followed by the rest of the vegetable broth and cheese.

Step 8

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

Step 10

Once done, let the bake cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and sliced green onions for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 11

Serve warm as a heart-healthy side or main dish.
