Two Potato Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• In 4-quart saucepan, place potato pieces and add enough water to cover. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to saucepan.
• Heat potatoes over low heat about 1 minute to dry potatoes, shaking pan often to keep potatoes from sticking and burning. (This will help make mashed potatoes fluffy.)
• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Add milk, salt and pepper to potatoes. Mash with potato masher until no lumps remain. Beat in sour cream, chives and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Spoon into baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese.
• Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Dice potatoes (peeled or not), then place in a steamer & steam, until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain & set aside in a large bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & coat the inside of a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, salt & garlic powder, then cover & process until smooth.
• To the diced potatoes, add processed cottage cheese mixture & green onions, stirring gently to combine.
• Pour potato mixture into the prepared baking dish & bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Remove from oven, sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese, then return to oven & bake another 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
