Lunch: Lighter Mashed Potatoes

These spuds are healthier for you and whipped to perfection.

Ingredients

16 oz. small-curd low-fat cottage cheese
2 lb. small red potatoes
Coarse salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground white pepper
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh chives
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. skim milk

Instructions

Puree half of the cottage cheese in a blender; set aside. Cover potatoes with water by 1 inch in a medium saucepan. Add a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
Transfer potatoes to a large bowl. Add both puréed and whole-curd cottage cheese, pepper, chives, butter, and milk. Season with salt. Mash to desired consistency. Serve garnished with chives.
