SIMPLE CRUNCHY POTATO AND ONION CASSEROLE - LOW CAL

Steps:

• Note:*** This casserole has no sauce which allows some of the top and bottom potatoes to get crispy- the more the better! Be sure to use a 9x13-inch casserole. DO NOT use a deep dish casserole as this will prevent the potatoes from cooking properly and getting crunchy.
• ***Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray the 9x13-inch casserole with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place half of potatoes in bottom of casserole dish.
• Place layer of onions over potatoes.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Place remaining potatoes on the top layer.
• Drizzle butter over the entire casserole, using total of 4 tbs butter, if not counting calories.
• Spray top of casserole with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cover and bake 20 minutes in lower third of the oven.
• Uncover and bake an additional 40-50 minutes until potatoes are done and casserole is golden brown on top.
• If you are lucky, the bottom potatoes will be a little browned, too!
• VARIATION: During last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle casserole with 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese.
• Let melt and serve.
• HAM-POTATO VARIATION: Add 8-12 ounces cooked ham or smoked pork shoulder, cubed, between the onion and potato layers.
