30 35 65

Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground celery seed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup fat-free milk
1-1/2 cups reduced-fat sour cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
2 ounces cubed reduced-fat process cheese (Velveeta)
4 tablespoons minced chives, divided

Directions

Place the potatoes, celery and onion in a large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil; cover and cook just until tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in the flour, salt, celery seed and pepper until smooth. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Transfer sauce to a large bowl; stir in the sour cream, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, process cheese and 3 tablespoons chives. Drain potato mixture; add to sauce and gently stir until coated.
Transfer to a 3-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with remaining chives. Yield: 10 servings.
