We used whole milk for extra creaminess and deliciousness, but the dish is still light. The reduced-fat, Mexican-style blended shredded cheese is the key for fantastic flavor for this easy recipe. It's also chock-full of Spanish onions, hearty Yukon gold potatoes, and ground nutmeg. After you assemble the gratin, it's got to bake in the oven for about an hour until the top is nice and golden and for the potatoes to get wonderfully tender, so you can let it hang out there while you're getting the rest of your dinner prepared. It'll be ready to go when you are.

Add potatoes, salt, pepper, nutmeg, milk and cheese to pot; toss several times to coat each slice of potato. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
