Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion (cut into thin strips)
• 1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1 cup fat free half-and-half
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded sharp, divided)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel potatoes and slice into thin rounds.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and sauté onions and potatoes over medium-high heat until the onions turn clear.
3. Spray a pie pan or 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
4. Place a thick layer (about half) of the potatoes and onions in the bottom of pan.
5. Add salt and pepper to half-and-half. Pour 1/2 cup of the half-and-half over the potatoes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese on top.
6. Add remaining potatoes and pour 1/2 cup half-and-half over the potatoes and top with remaining cheese.
7. Bake for 40 minutes or until potatoes are soft.

Note: These potatoes are salt-free, but if you wish, you can add up to 1/4 tsp. of salt at the same time as the black pepper for flavor.)
