Light Scalloped Potatoes With Cream Cheese image

This is a light creamy version of scalloped potatoes that I made up since I could not find a recipe that I liked, even though there are many on 'Zaar for scalloped potatoes. These turned out really good, and were attractive with the bits of peeling inside.

Provided by Jomamma

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

5 medium baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3 T. butter
3 T. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c. low-fat milk
1 tsp. ground mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 1/2 c. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese, cubed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 1 ½ quart casserole dish; set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Add milk, and whisk to combine. Stir in mustard, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until milk thickens (it will be the consistency of a cream soup), stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, and stir in cheese. Place half of the sliced potatoes in prepared casserole dish. Pour 2/3 cup of cheese sauce over potatoes. Repeat layer with remaining potatoes. Dot cream over potatoes. Cover cream cheese and potatoes with remaining cheese sauce. Cover and bake for about 60 minutes.

Tips:

To achieve a creamy texture, use full-fat cream cheese and milk.
For a crispy topping, use a combination of grated Parmesan and Gruyère cheese.
If you prefer a milder flavor, use a reduced-fat cream cheese.
To save time, use pre-sliced potatoes.
For a vegetarian version, omit the bacon.
For a vegan version, use plant-based cream cheese and milk.
