Cheesy Onion Potato Bake

Nothing accompanies a meal better than a creamy potato bake but the idea of making one goes out the window when trying to lose weight, or does it? Not necessarily!!

This is a version of a potato bake that we make that is very much like the tradition version. Made without using cream it still has all the familiar characteristics - it's rich, creamy and very morish.
