Whipped Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes

admin by admin
November 6, 2023

Whipped cottage cheese mashed potatoes come out so fluffy and protein-packed all thanks to the special addition of whipped cottage cheese!

Oh yes, we did! Whipped Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes NEED to be the mashed potatoes you serve at this year’s Thanksgiving. They’re made similarly to classic mashed potatoes with boiled Yukons, but we included whipped cottage cheese to make them extra fluffy and delicious.

Mashed potatoes are hands down my favorite Thanksgiving side and my mom always made them with sour cream. We took that same idea but whipped up some cottage cheese in place of the sour cream and the result was epic – smooth, creamy, and protein-packed!

Substitues & Variations

Feel free to cook your potatoes in any method you like. We prefer to boil them on the stovetop, but you can also cook them in the Instant Pot or bake the potatoes in the oven.

You can use either butter or margarine, but we prefer the taste of butter best. Any type of milk works for this recipe, we tested this with normal cow’s milk and unsweetened almond milk and you pretty much couldn’t tell a difference.

How You mash your potatoes Matters

  • Smooth: if you like your mashed potatoes nice and smooth, we recommend using a hand mixer.
  • Chunky: if you like a bit of texture, use a classic potato masher.

Whipped Cottage Cheese Mashed Potatoes FAQ

What potatoes are best for mashed potatoes?

We love Yukon gold potatoes for mashed potatoes, but russet and Idaho work too.

Do I have to whip the cottage cheese first?

We do recommend whipping your cottage cheese in a blender or food processor first to make sure it’s nice and creamy. If you don’t, you’ll have cottage cheese lumps in your mashed potatoes!

Store leftover mashed potatoes in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days. We recommend reheating in the microwave on high for 60-90 seconds.

Serving Suggestions

We loved serving these mashed potatoes with cottage cheese with a pad of butter and extra salt and pepper. Either turkey gravy or mushroom gravy on top is also quite delicious.

Ingredients

  • 5 lb. Yukon gold potatoes rinsed and quartered
  • 3 teaspoons sea salt separated
  • 11 oz. 2% cottage cheese ~1.5 cups
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • ½ cup 2% milk or any kind of milk*
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley
  • Fresh chives

Instructions 

  • Add the potatoes into a large pot and then cover with water. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  • Turn heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender about 15-20 minutes.

  • While the potatoes are cooking, whip the cottage cheese in a food processor until it’s completely smooth. You may need to scrape the sides a bit. Every food processor is different, but this should take between 2-4 minutes to become completely smooth. Set aside.

  • Once the potatoes are cooked, strain them and transfer the potatoes back into the pot. Add the butter to the potatoes and use an electric mixture to mash the potatoes on high until smooth. If you like your mashed potatoes a bit chunkier, feel free to use a classic potato masher instead.
