I’m not a big potato fan and always used to have way to many potato’s leftover which would just start rotting. So one day I started to surf the internet for a meal that would help prevent this happening.
There I came across a really simple casserole recipe which I have personalized over the years.
I have added the following things : corn, chicken, garlic and chives. So these can easily be left out if you prefer the more basic recipe.

The nice thing about this casserole is that you can easily adjust it to fit your taste, just like I did.

Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes
• 1 large onion
• ~ 3 cups of (low fat) grated cheese

Preparation

3) Fill the stockpot with water and set it up to boil.

5) Drain the water and let it cool down.

6) Meanwhile cut the chicken into small pieces and bake it in your skillet until it’s totally done and then put it aside.

7) While your chicken is cooking and your potatoes are boiling you can chop up your onions.

Making the sauce.

1) Put the butter in the heated saucepan and once it starts to melt mix in the flour and garlic.

2) Once the butter has fully melted and the mixture is well mixed, slowly start adding the milk while mixing the mixture well every time you add some milk.

3) Once all the milk has been added, add the salt and pepper and let it simmer for a few minutes.

Making the casserole.

1) Cover the inside of the oven dish with a thin layer of cooking spray.2) Cover the bottom of it with a layer of potato slices.

3) Now add about 1/3th of the onion, chicken, cheese and corn.

4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice and cover it all with the sauce.

5) Put it in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.
