Recipe Cost $ $7.69 Serving Cost $ $0.96Fluffy, buttery, and perfectly creamy, these Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes use Yukon golds and milk for a lighter take on a classic side dish.
Ingredients
- 5 lb bag Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese blended
- ½ cup salted butter
- ½ cup low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- For Garnish:
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
Boil the potatoes
- Place the peeled and chopped potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes
- Drain the cooked potatoes well and return them to the pot.
Mash and mix
- Add the blended cottage cheese, butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy with no lumps remaining. For extra-smooth potatoes, use a hand mixer.
Garnish and serve
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk to bring back creaminess.
- Freeze: Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight and reheat before serving.
