Scalloped potatoes is a classic comfort food dish that typically involves a lot of heavy cream and cheese. This lighter version is made with chicken broth and parmesan cheese, making it a healthier alternative without sacrificing flavor. The dish is creamy and cheesy, with a crispy golden parmesan crust on top. It's the perfect side dish for any occasion, from a weeknight dinner to a holiday feast.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2.	In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the water and chicken bouillon cubes to a boil.
3.	Add garlic and sliced potatoes, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes.
4.	Layer the potato slices into a 9x13 inch baking dish, sprinkling each layer with grated parmesan cheese.
5.	Pour the remaining chicken broth over the top of the potatoes.
6.	Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
7.	Remove the foil, increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
