Slimmed-Down Scalloped Potatoes

From EatingWell:

Sliced potatoes are simmered until tender in skim milk, then topped with reduced-fat sour cream and run under the broiler until golden. The results are sensational.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I made this for my husband who loves scalloped potatoes and is on a low carb diet. So, he was thrilled to see there are only 9 carbs per serving. On a scale of 1-10, he gave them a 7. I don't think he has ever given any "slimmed down"...

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 pound all-purpose potatoes, preferably Yukon Gold (about 3 medium), peeled and sliced
2 cups nonfat milk
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Cut 1 clove garlic in half and rub vigorously over the inside of a shallow 2-quart baking or gratin dish. Coat the dish with cooking spray. Mince the remaining 2 cloves garlic.
Combine the minced garlic, potatoes, milk, onion, salt, nutmeg and pepper in a medium heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to the prepared dish with a slotted spoon.
Transfer 1/4 cup of the milk mixture to a small bowl. Whisk in sour cream. Pour over the potatoes. Top with Parmesan.
Preheat broiler. Spoon the sour cream mixture evenly over the potatoes and broil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
