Number Of Ingredients 14

2 C. chicken broth
1 med. onion, minced
2 C. low fat milk
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 heads fennel (about 4" wide)
2 lb. Russet potatoes
2 T. Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/4 C. cornstarch
1 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 C. Fontina cheese
2 10-ounce packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 lb. thin sliced cooked ham
1/2 tsp. salt

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine chicken broth and cornstarch, mix until smooth and set aside.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, saute onion in oil until limp. Add chicken broth mixture, milk, nutmeg and pepper; bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add Fontina cheese and stir until melted.
  • Squeeze liquid out of spinach. Rinse fennel and chop feathery green leaves, reserving 1/2 cup. Trim and discard remaining stalks, root ends, bruised areas and coarse fibers from fennel heads; cut heads crosswise into 1/8" slices. Scrub and peel potatoes; cut lengthwise into 1/8" slices.
  • Lightly oil a shallow 3-quart casserole dish. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes, overlapping slightly, on the bottom. Cover potatoes with 1/2 of the fennel, 1/2 of the ham and 1/2 of the spinach. Spoon 1/3 of the Fontina sauce over the spinach. Repeat layers. Spoon 1/3 of sauce on top of spinach and top with remaining 1/3 of potatoes. Spoon remaining 1/3 of sauce over top. Bake, covered, at 375 for 30 mins.
  • Uncover and continue baking until top is richly browned and potatoes are tender when pierced, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, chopped fennel leaves and bake 5 mins. longer. Let stand 10 mins. before cutting. Serves 4-6.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons white vinegar
3 potatoes, very thinly sliced
6 tablespoons extra virgin-olive oil, divided
3 cups finely chopped ham
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (such as Campbell's®)
½ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup milk
2 tablespoons minced capers
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
½ cup pepper Jack cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water; add vinegar. Bring to a boil. Add potatoes and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
