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.

  • 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.

This recipe was delicious and will be a staple in our home. I did change it a bit. I use lite cream in place of the 2 cups of non fat milk and reduce sour cream. I also add a half cup 96% fat free ham and 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese. I'm sure my recipe has slightly higher fat content. I will try the recipe again and I will follow the recipe to the tee just to see the difference. My husband who is a very picky eater gave it two thumbs up and that's saying a lot. Read More

Wow...I thought my days of enjoying scalloped potatoes were over! This recipe is amazing and even the non-dieters around my table thought so! Absolutely delicious! You'd never guess this was a healthier version. Read More

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" recipe more than 5. I loved the flavor and texture. I also substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream. I give these a 9. Yummy! Read More

Confused by directions... What happens to the rest of the liquid that the potatoes simmer in? The directions are a bit confusing - 1/4 cup of milk is whisked with the sour cream then poured over the potatoes. Then the next step says to spoon the same mixture evenly over the potatoes and broil? Help! Read More

Water and potatoes I made this exactly as the directions instructed. with the exception of adding a 1/2 cup cheese on top. Turned out very very liquidy. It was like i used water instead of milk. I'm not sure what happened but i don't think I'll be using this recipe again. Pros: had potatoes Cons: everything else Read More
