Cheesy Potato Bake

Nana Lee's Note:

This recipe is found in the 2005 Taste of Home's Quick Cooking recipe book. It tastes wonderful! It even tastes great as a leftover. This dish can be put together ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to bake and serve.

Directions:

1. Oven @ 350ºF.
2. You can peel the potatoes or not.
3. Cut into chunks and cook in boiling water until done--about 15-20 minutes.
4. Drain the potatoes and mash.
5. Add the cottage cheese, French onion dip, and seasonings.
6. Place in a 1-1 1/2 quart shallow casserole dish.

This had a bit too much of a french onion dip flavor for us. I liked how easy it was though. It was a different way to serve mashed potatoes and I like to try new recipes. Thanks for posting.

We had this a potluck dinner recently and LOVED it! It had so much more flavor than the usual mashed potato casserole. The recipe I was given specified 1/2 to 1 cup of cheddar cheese. True comfort food!
