Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 45 mins

Total time: 55 mins

Serves: 8

A glass of milk is really a good prescription for health. For the prevention of osteoporosis, a high calcium intake is recommended especially for women. It is suggested that a daily intake of low fat milk or skim milk with 2 glasses per day can give women sufficient levels of calcium supply especially if taken regularly during the premenopausal state. Therefore, it is also best for adult women to be extra careful in their diet and use low-fat milk every time you have to use milk in your food. This low-fat scalloped potato is definitely a perfect choice. With its low-fat, calcium supply through the milk, and its steamy scalloped potatoes, you would want to make it in your everyday dinner.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish (30 g)
Kosher salt
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (1350 g)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (30 g)
1 cup 1% low-fat milk, at room temperature (225 ml)
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature (225 ml)
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (0.8 g)
1/4 cup grated gruyere cheese (0.6 g)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly polish a 3-quart baking dish with melted butter.
Ready a large pot of salted water and boil over medium heat; stir in the potatoes and bring to a simmer until cooked and tender, or for about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes fully and return to the pot.
Meanwhile, in a large deep saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour with a wooden ladle to make a paste. Stir continuously until the paste puffs slightly, or for about 1 minute.
Steadily pour in low-fat and whole milk, stirring constantly until thickened, or for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle ½ teaspoon pepper, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and nutmeg.
Pour in the sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared baking dish and add a little amount of gruyere.
Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, or for about 10 minutes. Switch the oven to the broiler setting and broil the potatoes until top is browned, or for about 5 minutes. Let it cool for 10 more minutes before serving.

5 cups potatoes – thinly sliced
3 cups cheese – cheddar, shredded
1 onion – chopped

In a very large mixing bowl, stir in the remaining ingredients with the sauce. Place in a tightly-covered casserole dish and bake in 350 degrees F for 90 minutes. Remove the cover after the first 30 minutes.

3 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled (45 g)
5 cups all-purpose flour (550 g)
1 tablespoon salt (15 g)

Instructions

Grease two baking sheets. Set aside.
In a saucepan of boiling water, cover and cook sweet potato until tender for about 15 minutes.
Drain cooked potato, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Set aside potato and cooking liquid to cool until lukewarm.
Peel and mash potato. Set aside.
In large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm milk and reserved cooking liquid. Add the yeast and let it stand until frothy for 10 minutes.
Add the mashed potato, green onions, 1 tsp of the cooled butter, 1 cup of the flour and salt into the mixture to make a smooth paste.
Gradually mix 3 cups of the remaining flour, 1 cup at a time, to make a soft, sticky dough.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface, knead until dough is smooth and sticky, adding enough of the remaining flour as needed. Kneading takes about 10 minutes.
