Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with vegetable spray.
-
In a medium nonstick skillet, sauté chopped yellow onion and garlic in chicken broth over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
In a medium bowl, combine shredded Swiss cheese, plain nonfat yogurt, grated Parmesan cheese (if using), and chopped green onion tops. Stir in the sautéed onion mixture until well combined.
-
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
-
Spread half of the yogurt-cheese mixture over the potatoes. Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes, yogurt mixture, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
-
Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top layer. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
-
Bake for 1 1/2 hours, or until potatoes are tender and the filling is bubbly. Uncover for the last 10 minutes if you desire a crispier topping.
