A lightened up version of my favorite Cheesy Potato Casserole so I don’t have to feel so guilty about loving it!
Health(ier) Cheesy Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- olive oil non-stick spray
- 2 pounds red skin potatoes about 5-6 large, diced
- 1 cup milk I used 2%
- 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 8 ounces about 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium onion chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt plus a pinch more
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups crushed Special K Sea Salt Cracker Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Wash and dish your potatoes Add them to a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, drain them and return them to the pot.
- While the potatoes are cooking, in a large saucepan, combine the milk and cornstarch and whisk together. Over medium high heat, bring to a boil, whisking often, until it is bubbly and thick. It comes together quickly.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, yogurt, onion and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper until combined.
- Pour the sauce over the pot of potatoes and stir to fully coat them.
- Spread the coated potatoes into the prepared baking dish evenly.
- Smash up the chips and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the potatoes.
- Bake for about an hour, until the potatoes start to brown and the edges are bubbling. Let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.

The cracker chips are such a nice addition. Love a good ‘crunch’.
