These potatoes have wonderful flavor from the added ingredients that they are cooked and mashed with. A bonus for any dinner. For a low fat version substitute lowfat sour cream instead of the cottage cheese & Buttermilk. I use 2 cubes of frozen fresh basil.instead of fresh chopped. I had some left over potatoes so I mixed some bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, made pattie from the potato, coated the patties with the cheese crumbs, fried with light spray of Olive oil MMMM very good Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled,cut into 1 inch cubes |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
3 stalks celery, cut in half |
12 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup 2% fat cottage cheese, drained |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
3 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Cover the potatoes with water add the celery, onion, garlic& salt.
2. Cook until tender (apprx 15-20 minutes).
3. Remove celery& discard.
4. Drain well through a sieve so you don't lose the onion& garlic.
5. Mash the potatoes.
6. Combine Cottage cheese, buttermilk& Basil, add to potatoes, mix until smooth.
7. Reheat over very low heat.
