Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes with creamy and flavorful butter and cottage cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 large Yellow Flesh Potatoes around 2 pounds
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- ¼ cup Milk or milk substitute like almond milk
- ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Salt (omit if using salted butter)
- ¼ cup Fresh Chives finely chopped
Instructions
- Place a large pot of boiling water on high heat and bring to a boil.
- Peal your potatoes and then chop each potato in half and each half in quarters. Cutting them the same size will help with an even cooking time.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the cream cheese mixture. Use a small blender or an emersion blender for this step.
- Combine your cottage cheese together with the milk, salt, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth.
- When the potatoes are cooked and very tender, remove them from the water and place in a large bowl. If using a potato ricer, process them into a large bowl.
- Break the butter into pieces and place in the hot potatoes. Use a hand mixer on the lowest speed to start mashing the potatoes. Once they are starting to break apart, pour in your cottage cheese mixture.
- Blend the potatoes until the cottage cheese mixture has fully incorporated. Fold in the chopped chives. Serve with extra fresh chives or parsley. Enjoy!
