These were VERY good potatoes. But I used Light cottage cheese, Light sour cream, Reduced fat Parmesan cheese and cheddar cheese made from 2% milk.

I changed this recipe by using raw potatoes which I shredded in my food processor and rinsed with water through a colundar. Then I drained the potatoes and mixed with the sauce, and baked covered for 30 minutes, then uncovered for another 30 minutes. My family liked them a lot. Next time I make them, I think I will top with some corn flake crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese for a little crunch. These are a lot like the hash brown and cheese recipe everyone brings to pot lucks, but much lower in fat and calories.

I am not going to rate recipe, just comment, because the problems I had may just be because I'm a relatively new cook... "Until tender" on potatoes did not work for me, I boiled for 25 minutes until I thought they were tender and they turned out more like mashed potatoes when I tried to grate them... ten potatoes was too many, and I ended up only using about seven (that's all that would fit in an 8X8 pan) and it came out like runny mush. Also, I think maybe it should get baked for longer. I followed directions but perhaps I should've used the full ten potatoes and crammed them into the pan, and not boiled them for so long, because I ended up tossing this whole dish. But, like I said, it's probably user error. Everybody else that rated loved them, so when making this recipe, don't make the same mistakes I did.

This was REALLY good! The cottage cheese does something really wonderful to it!...Thanks, will definately make again..Very healthy too which as a heart patient, I try to look for.

I came across this recipe during an ingredient search for cottage cheese. I was skeptical, but also had potatoes to use up, so gave it a try. YUM! I thought these potatoes were delicious. I only had about 7 small potatoes, so I cut the rest of the recipe in half and it worked out perfect. There was plenty to feed my family of four.

Having now tried Yukon Gold Mashed with Shallots recipe on this site, I apologize but have to jump ship. Changed my rating from 4 to 3 stars as for 1 extra gram of fat they are worlds better (a most solid 5). These are good & acceptable as healthier than most & don't need butter, but the other recipe just shines in comparison. Also, I doubt the difference in fiber counts one recipe to the other. I left skins on on the Yukons, so would have more anyway. Still impressed as DH hates cottage cheese, saw it & still liked it! Don't expect to be liked mashed, texture is different. With these I used about 1/4 cup onion, somehow forgot the garlic powder (think would use fresh anyway). Sprinkled very little less fat cheddar on top for color. To save time, cooked potatoes (whole) day before & grated next day (seemed would grate easier). The cayenne is key. Thanks Mary & sorry for changes.

I always have my eye out for low fat recipes, especially those which mimic my old faves. This one does it. For benefit of time we used frozen hash browns and it came out great.

These were really good. I cooked the potatoes in the microwave until firm; about 15 minutes. I made this recipe for 2 people and it said use 4 potatoes, but I used 2 and it was still too much for two people. I needed to cook it a lot longer than suggested, which really screwed up the meal I had planned because it would have all been done at the same time. Still, the potatoes had a really good flavor. My roommate wouldn't eat them because they weren't done all the way (got tired of waiting), but I will definitely make these again, and maybe try cooking them in the oven completely like another review suggested. I used nonfat cottage cheese and nonfat sour cream, and it was still good.

I didn't want to rate this recipe, just comment, but it is forcing me to rate it. I think the problems I had were my own fault and not because the recipe is bad. I had difficulty with boiling and shredding the potatoes. Mine were probably a bit overcooked and tasted kind of like paste. This was problem #1. I think knowing just how long to boil, how much to soak up the liquid with paper towels, etc. is really important and maybe comes with experience. I then realized I didn't have cottage cheese, so I used cream of mushroom soup and some parmesan (which is kind of not good together). I mean, it was edible the first night but I tossed it out the next day.
