Healthy Green Chili & Potato Gratin image

Unless you are a carb-hater, potatoes are pretty healthy...low in calories, some fiber. This recipe mimics a very rich and creamy Potato Gratin but uses low fat ingredients and my FAVORITE ingredient of all time - Green Chilis - one of the many bags that I roasted and froze during the last NM Chili season.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb yukon gold potato, unpeeled, washed, sliced very thinly
1 cup green chili, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 cup white onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leave
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1 (4 ounce) container fat free cream cheese, plain and softened
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • In a large bowl toss together the potatoes, onions, green chilis, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, flour, and cumin. Add pieces of the cream cheese, and stir until well incorporated.
  • Fill a casserole dish (coated with non-stick spray) or several small ones with the potato mixture. Pour the milk over the mixture to evenly cover the potatoes.
  • Mix together the panko crumbs and cheese.
  • Top the potato gratin(s) with a sprinkle of the panko/cheese mixture. Cover with foil.
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for another 30 minutes, until gratin is bubbling and top is golden brown.
  • I made these last week in small tins and made great left-overs to take camping. I replaced the green chilis for broccoli however in my son's portion.
