These cottage cheese mashed potatoes are creamy, rich, simple to prepare, and packed with flavor. Ready in about 25 minutes, they make a perfect side dish and are a welcome addition to holiday menus.

Cottage cheese brings extra protein and a silky texture when blended into mashed potatoes. These mashed potatoes use whipped cottage cheese to create a velvety consistency without sacrificing flavor — you won’t miss the heaviness of cream or sour cream.
Serve these mashed potatoes alongside roast chicken, turkey or a simple vegetable side for a balanced, homey meal. They’re especially useful for gatherings because they come together quickly and appeal to a crowd.
