Start by adding the cottage cheese to your food processor. Blend it until it’s smooth to create that creamy base that will transform your mashed potatoes.

Next, place the sliced gold potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Heat over medium-high until the water reaches a boil, then cook the potatoes until they’re fork-tender before draining them.

Transfer the hot potatoes to a mixing bowl. While they're still warm, add in the butter, whipped cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Use a potato masher to blend everything together until you’ve got a smooth, creamy mixture.
