  • “Yum!Another great recipe from Mirjam! :0)Nearly my whole family loved it (a major feat).Mine never really puffed, I don’t know why.Best guess is that my mashed potatoes were too soggy to begin with, or it could be that my cottage cheese was low-fat (runnier?).I just used leftover mashed potatoes, which had been whipped with canned chicken broth (instead of my normal stick or butter) to make them lower fat, so I left out the salt and pepper called for in the recipe.Even though it didn’t look as pretty as it might of, the taste was excellent, and I will definitely make this again!”

  • “Very yummy. I used instant potatoes and they tasted wonderful! No one said anything about them being instant and usually DH does. I didn’t have a 2 qt casseole so I used 2 1.5 qt glass loaf pans and adjusted the recipe to fill them both. This was great with baked fish (I used a baked clam recipe but used fish instead) and peas for our shabbat meal. I had the leftovers today and put some grated cheddar cheese on top and it was very yummy. Maybe I do this in the future. Thanks for posting.”

  • “we loved this…I made it a few months back an forgot to rate. Am making it again for our lunch with friends tomorrow…funny how mashed taties can taste so fantastic!”

  • “A great ‘do ahead’ dish. I also added in a little garlic and some chopped parsley.Thanks Mirj for a ‘keeper’ :)”

  • “Mine came out mushy too and family didn’t think they were bad, but nothing special.Must be a knack to get them to puff. “
