Equipment

potato masher
large cooking pot
9X13 baking dish

Ingredients

5 large potatoes
1 Tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
dash hot sauce optional
4 eggs beaten
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
1 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt to taste

Topping

1/2 cup crushed cornflakes
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Boil the unpeeled whole potatoes until tender in a large pot. Remove from the water and allow to cool until you can safely handle them. Drain the water out of your cooking pot.
Once they cool a bit, they are easy to peel by hand. Peel all the potatoes and return to the pot or place in a large bowl. Add butter, hot sauce, and salt and mash with a potato masher or use electric mixer to desired creaminess.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Add cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, beaten eggs, and onion to the mashed potatoes.
Spoon mashed potato mixture into a greased 9X13 baking dish or oven-safe casserole dish.
Sprinkle the top with a mixture of crushed cornflake crumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
