Potato Pie

I always end up with extra mashed potatoes, even when I tell myself I am going to cut back so we don’t have extra, I still have extra. I saw this in my google reader and decided it would be the perfect way to use up my mashed potatoes. I ended up making two “pies” out of this recipe, I think you could easily half it and have enough for one.

We love loved this, it was a wonderful way to use up those potatoes!

Potato Pie (From: Jenn and Food, Perfect Together)

• 1 unbaked pie shell
• 2 cups 1% milk cottage cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (I omitted)
• 1/2 cup scallions (I omitted)
• 1/2 cup shredded low fat cheddar cheese

Beat the cottage cheese until smooth. Add in the next 6 ingredients and beat in again until smooth. Stir in the scallions. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 400 for 45-50 minutes.
