Servings: 6 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 pounds gold potatoes sliced into 1.5 inch pieces ( they can be peeled or not peeled)
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 3/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese to a food processor and mix until smooth.
- Put the potatoes, along with cold water into a large pot. Heat the water over medium high heat and then boil the potatoes for 20 minutes, until fork tender, then drain.
- Put the potatoes into a bowl while still hot, add the butter, whipped cottage cheese, salt and pepper and mix with a potato masher until smooth.
Notes
- You can make this recipe with peeled potatoes or unpeeled potatoes. Gold potatoes have a light skin, so it is ok to leave the skin if you don't feel like peeling the potatoes.
- If the mashed potatoes are too dry for your liking, add a little milk.
- Use a potato masher to mix all the ingredients together. This ensures the ingredients mix well into each other and things don't get over mixed.
- Mix everything together while the potatoes are still hot. This results in a creamier, smoother texture.
