Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Cottage cheese was one of Grandma's delicious additions she sometimes made to the potato mixture (and it helped feed an extra mouth or two). Grandma added up to 1 cup of cottage cheese when mashing the potato mixture, then proceeded as the recipe directs.
