Cheesy Smashed Potatoes with Yogourt & Chives
September, 2019
These scrumptious mashed potatoes are loaded with big flavour and heaps of—wait for it—protein! That’s right. Dry cottage cheese has 22 grams in every half-cup serving. And we added 2 cups!
- 12 large potatoes, peeled and halved
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly cracked pepper
- 2 cups dry cottage cheese
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
- 1 cup plain yogourt
- Thinly sliced scallions (optional)
Boil the potatoes in lots of salty water until fork tender. Drain the water, and return the pot to the turned-off burner. Add the butter, milk, salt, pepper, cheeses and yogourt. Mash until smooth, then taste and adjust the salt to your liking. Stir in some sliced scallions to finish.
