LIGHTENED SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH CHEESE
Adapted from Cooking Light. If you prefer a different flavor cheese, then you may substitute whichever type you prefer, just so long as it is real cheese and not reduced fat. This recipe has already reduced the fat a lot from typical versions, and the amount of the cheese is just enough to give the taste and texture of the real real thing without going overboard. Also - if you are not watching your fat/calories, by all means use whole milk and butter if you prefer.

Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is the star of the dish, so don't skimp on quality. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
- Slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick to the pan.
- Bake the potatoes until they are golden brown and bubbly. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a nice crispy crust.
- Serve the potatoes immediately. Scalloped potatoes are best served hot out of the oven.
Conclusion:
