HFG tip

What we did to make this healthier makeover

Removed the cream and cheese: Scalloped potatoes or potatoes daphinoise is often made with cream and cheese layers. This isn’t necessary to get the cheesy flavour because when the milk cooks in this dish, curds separate and become cheesy and tasty.
Left the potato skin on: This boosts the nutrients and fibre.
Added onion, garlic and thyme: These add lots of tasty flavour without adding fat.
Used a strong cheese: parmesan is a highly flavoured cheese which means you don’t need to use very much to get lots of great taste.
