Bring a pot of water to boil on the stove.
Add the diced potatoes to the pot, and close the lid. You may need to turn the temperature down to keep it from overflowing.
4.4 pounds potatoes
While the potatoes are cooking, spray non-stick spray or olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the rosemary, and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the garlic begins to turn golden brown, and then remove the pan from heat.
3 cloves garlic, 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
While the potatoes and herbs are cooking, blend together the cottage cheese and milk, and set aside.
1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup filtered milk
When the potatoes are fork-tender, turn off the heat, strain the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes by either using a potato masher in the pot you cooked them in, or rice them using a potato ricer. You can remove skins this way if desired (I tend to leave them in for extra fiber).
Add the cottage cheese mixture, sautéed herbs, salt, and pepper into the pot with the potatoes, and stir or mash them together.
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 teaspoons salt
Taste and adjust the milk and seasoning if necessary.
Serve and enjoy!
