Healthified Cheesy Potatoes
Recipe Tip
What is "Healthified"?
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
Success
Thawed frozen potatoes are key to better mixing with lower-fat ingredients, and also help keep the bake time to an hour or less.

70% less fat • 72% less sat fat • 41% fewer calories than the original recipe—see the comparison. Ladle up a creamy, healthified spoonful of savory spuds and melted cheese. Once overloaded, the fat and calories have been drastically reduced. From eatbetteramerica.

Though it was a huge amount for just two people, I loved this recipe! I was able to freeze a bunch of single servings for future meals! Yum!

cheesy potatoes
I had 26 people over on memorial day for a fish fry. I mixed up a double batch of this recipe the day before and took it out of the refrigerator an hour and a half before I served it and baked it at 350. I had many requests for the recipe. I did make one change because I didn't have enough croutons on hand. I crushed some corn flakes and moistened them with melted butter and put on for the last 30 minutes of baking
