Initially, I made this dish as a way of recreating a family Christmas Dinner. The challenge, create a dish the way that  Karen's mom, Lois - an excellent cook,  would serve. 

Now, this dish is one of the must-have standards for any major holiday meal. It would not be Thanksgiving without turkey and whipped potatoes. Ditto for Christmas. 

The ingredients are from the original recipe, but I have modified it as I am not a fan of recipes that say "four large....  I use this recipe for up to  5 pounds potatoes, using  1 cup sour cream, 2 cups cottage cheese, 3/4 cup butter. That will nicely fill a large baking dish.
