INGREDIENTS
1 cup Crowley Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup Crowley Heavy Cream
3 potatoes, sliced thin
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 to 1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon chives, chopped
1/2 cup Crowley Cottage Cheese

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
Lightly spray the inside of an 8” x 8” x 2” baking pan with a non-stick cooking spray.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup cottage cheese with heavy cream. Form a thin layer of potatoes on the bottom of the pan. Lightly coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese/heavy cream mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the breadcrumbs along with the salt and pepper, to taste over the potatoes. Continue to form 2 more layers in the same manner. Finish the top layer by spreading evenly the remaining cottage cheese from end to end of the pan. Top this with a thin layer of bread crumbs and sprinkle lightly with paprika.

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown on top and heated to the center. Garnish with fresh chives. Allow to cool 15 to 20 minutes before cutting.

Serving Suggestion: Serve as a side dish with meat or poultry.
