Healthy Easter Potato Casserole

Ingredients

• 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
• 1 cup cooked vegetables (spinach, carrots, celery, or a mix)
• 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened plant milk
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a casserole dish.
2. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish.
3. Sprinkle half of the cooked vegetables and cheese over the potatoes.
4. Layer the remaining potatoes, then top with the rest of the vegetables and cheese.
5. Mix the beaten eggs and milk, then pour evenly over the layered potatoes.
6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
7. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Tips

• Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices to ensure even baking.
• Partially cook the vegetables beforehand to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.
• For extra flavor, add garlic powder, paprika, or herbs like thyme and rosemary.
