Step 1

Wash, dry, and cut potatoes into bit size pieces while the water heats to a rolling boil. Put potatoes in boiling water. Let them cook while you shred 2 cups of cheddar (my family prefers extra sharp cheddar in this recipe) and finely chop green onions. Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, and cottage cheese. I use an immersion blender but you can use a regular blender or a bullet blender. I mix all the ingredients, except for the potatoes, add a bit of salt and pepper as I mix to find the best balance of seasoning for the potatoes. When fully cooked drain the potatoes. Once the potatoes have cooled to room temperature mix all ingredients together. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Chill. Voilà! Now you have a rich and savory side dish that will blow everyone’s socks off at the next potluck, backyard barbecue, or big family dinner.
