    Begin by peeling and chopping the sweet potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a pot of water, ensuring they are fully submerged.

    2

    Bring the pot of sweet potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium. Cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

    3

    Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.

    4

    Finely chop the green onions and fold them into the mash for added flavor and a nice crunch.
