Ingredients
  • 1 cups Yellow Onion (medium) -- Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic -- Finely Chopped
  • 2 cups Swiss cheese, lowfat -- Shredded
  • 1 1/2 cups Plain nonfat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onion tops -- Chopped
  • 4 large Russet potatoes -- Thinly Sliced/unpeel
  • 1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper -- Divided
  • 1/2 cups Bread Crumbs

Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with vegetable spray.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. 5
    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.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top layer. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
  7. 7
    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.
