Ingredients:

5 potatoes
1840g
1 onion
70g
1.50 cups lowfat cottage cheese
320g
1 cup sour cream
240g
1 cup cheddar cheese
130g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Potatoes:
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Prepare Onion:
- Peel and finely chop the onion.
4. Make the Cheese Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, and chopped onion. Stir until well combined.
5. Layer the Dish:
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a similarly sized ovenproof dish.
- Arrange a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the dish.
- Spread a portion of the cottage cheese mixture over the potatoes.
- Repeat the layering process until all the potato slices and cottage cheese mixture are used, finishing with a layer of the cheese mixture on top.
6. Top with Cheddar Cheese:
- Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer of the potato and cheese mixture.
7. Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
8. Serve:
- Let the bake cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to cut into portions.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve warm as a comforting side dish or a main course.

Tips:

- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds for a creamier texture.

- Slice the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking.

- Consider caramelizing the onions for added sweetness and depth of flavor.

- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and optional herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.

- Cover the bake with foil during the initial baking period to prevent the cheese from burning.
