Description

This comforting Potatoes Romanoff is a classic American casserole that transforms simple boiled potatoes into a rich, creamy side dish. The tender potato mixture is blended with fat-free sour cream, sharp cheddar cheese, and savory onion slices, then baked until the top is golden and bubbly. A dusting of paprika adds a smoky aroma and beautiful color. It pairs perfectly with roasted meats or holiday dinners. Despite using lighter ingredients like fat-free sour cream, the flavor remains robust and satisfying. This dish is easy to prepare, family-friendly, and always a crowd-pleaser at potlucks or weeknight suppers.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and lightly grease a 1.5-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Place quartered potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
  4. Return potatoes to the pot or transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add margarine, fat-free sour cream, sliced onions, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Mash and stir the mixture until well combined and creamy.
  6. Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese over the top, followed by a light dusting of paprika.
  8. Bake uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
