Lunch: Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes With Paprika

Recipe by Dr. Andrew Stanek We wish we could take credit for this double-dairy, paprika-dusted masterpiece of a mash, but we can't. The dish is courtesy of Dr. Andrew Stanek, father to BA's own Amiel Stanek.

5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 2" pieces
Kosher salt
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 cups whole-milk cottage cheese
2 cups sour cream, divided
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced, divided
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot smoked Spanish paprika (for serving)

Instructions

Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender, 20 –25 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to still-hot pot. Add garlic, cottage cheese, 1 1/2 cups sour cream, and all but 1/4 cup scallions. Season generously with salt and pepper and mash with a potato masher until ingredients are incorporated but mixture is still coarse.
