Ingredients

2-1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 carton (8 ounces) reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 egg whites

Directions

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain. Mash potatoes with butter and onion until small lumps of potato remain; set aside.
In a bowl, beat ricotta cheese, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, rosemary and pepper until smooth. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until frothy; fold into cheese mixture. Fold into potato mixture.
Generously coat muffin cups with cooking spray; evenly sprinkle muffin cups with bread crumbs. Fill with potato mixture; smooth tops.
