Light Potato Casserole

I hope everybody has a Happy Easter.....and for those of you going to someplace warm...I'm totally jealous. This recipe came from one of my friends, who watched people "scarf it down" at a potluck. Thanks for the recipe Becky!

3 medium potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
1 cup (8 oz.) fat-free cottage-cheese
˝ cup reduced-fat sour cream
1 Tbsp skim milk
1 tsp sugar
˝ tsp salt (optional)
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2 Tbsp sliced green onion
˝ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

Directions:
Place potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook potatoes until tender. Drain. Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, milk, sugar, salt and garlic powder; cover and process until smooth. In a large bowl, combine potatoes, processed cottage cheese mixture and green onion.

Pout into a 1 quart baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
