Prep Potatoes: Peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Place them in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.

Prepare Cottage Cheese: Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth for a creamy texture.

Mash Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash until mostly smooth, leaving a few lumps for texture.

Combine Ingredients: Stir in the blended cottage cheese and butter until well combined and creamy.

Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper. If thick, drizzle in milk to loosen. Garnish with chives or parsley before serving.
