Simple Crunchy Potato and Onion Casserole - Low Cal

5.0(15)

If you like crunchy potatoes, with no sauce, you'll love this casserole made in a shallow dish! We love it plain and simple, and fight over the crunchy parts, but feel free to add seasonings of your choice. If calories are no object, top the casserole with shredded cheese (or sour cream) and sprinkle with real cooked bacon pieces.

Instructions (16 steps)

01Note:*** 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.
02***Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
03Spray the 9x13-inch casserole with non-stick cooking spray.
04Place half of potatoes in bottom of casserole dish.
05Place layer of onions over potatoes.
06Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

07Place remaining potatoes on the top layer.

08Drizzle butter over the entire casserole, using total of 4 tbs butter, if not counting calories.

09Spray top of casserole with non-stick cooking spray.

10Cover and bake 20 minutes in lower third of the oven.

11Uncover and bake an additional 40-50 minutes until potatoes are done and casserole is golden brown on top.

12If you are lucky, the bottom potatoes will be a little browned, too!

13VARIATION: During last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle casserole with 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese.

14Let melt and serve.

15HAM-POTATO VARIATION: Add 8-12 ounces cooked ham or smoked pork shoulder, cubed, between the onion and potato layers.
