How does the cottage cheese affect the flavor of the potatoes?

You really don't even know it is in there, but it does something for them, it's just like when I make regular mashed potatoes I always add a couple of big spoons of FF mayonnasie; it makes a taste difference, but if you don't tell anyone they don't know it is in there, but I can tell the difference if I leave the out.

I'll have to try it then.

What I really like about this recipe is that you can make your mashed potatoes ahead of time refrigerate them and just assemble it later and you don't have all the mess of making mashed potatoes so I use this a lot when I have company for that reason.
