Do you ever feel like when you’re on a fat loss cut it’s like you’re not even allowed to eat potatoes?
You’re eating clean and crushing it in your workouts…
Then Sunday dinner arrives, and someone places a platter of creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes on the table.
All of a sudden, your self-discipline is MIA, and your “just a taste” turns into a 600-calorie detour.
Here’s the good news:
You don’t have to part with your favorite side—you just have to make it over.
And that’s exactly what we have done here with CP’s Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, a perfect fit for your fat loss recipes collection.
This isn’t your grandma’s butter-loaded bake.
It’s a high-protein comfort food, relatively low-fat, rich, creamy, and packed with just enough carbs to keep your body fueled without blowing your deficit.
The creamy base is made with cottage cheese, egg whites, some reduced fat (or nonfat) cheddar cheese, and cheddar cheese powder—not heavy cream or butter.
That means fewer calories, more protein, and lasting satisfaction, key elements of any high-protein potato recipes for weight loss.
Studies show meals higher in protein increase thermogenesis and reduce appetite—helping you stay on track toward your fat loss goals.

By swapping full-fat dairy for low-fat cottage cheese and using just enough reduced fat shredded cheddar, this dish delivers all the creamy flavor without the 18-30g of fat found in traditional scalloped potatoes.
The result?
A low-fat cheesy scalloped potatoes recipe that satisfies without sabotaging your deficit.
Want a bigger portion?
Double up your greens like spinach or broccoli and pair this side with a lean protein such as grilled chicken or turkey.
Or eat two portions of potatoes. They’re low in calories so that you CAN eat two if you want!!
“Not all comfort foods have to be forbidden. They just need to be repurposed to serve your goals—not fight against them.”
This is comfort food that supports transformation at its finest.
