Ingredients: 4 medium potatoes, peeled and quartered; 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream; 1/2 cup cream-style cottage cheese; 1/4 cup fat-free milk; 2 to 3 green onions, thinly sliced; 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Be sure to leave room on the plate for light and creamy casserole. It's dressed up with green onions and melted cheddar cheese and gets its rich texture from the addition of reduced-fat sour cream. Donna Noel - Gray, Maine

Still a comfort food without all the butter and cream or milk added. A keeper!
