Meanwhile, peel and quarter the potatoes. Boil in a large saucepan for 10-15 minutes, until tender, and drain. In a bowl, mash the boiled potatoes; add butter, milk, sour cream, scallions, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Fold in cooked lentils. Spread into a lightly greased 13x9 baking dish.

Tips: I had never made anything with lentils before and was intrigued to give them a try after seeing this recipe. Lentils are high in fiber and low in fat so they are the perfect addition to a meatless meal. My lentils took quite a while to cook but that might have been because I cook at high altitude. I also used 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and 1 cup of Jack cheese to give this a little more flavor but I left it as one cheese in the ingredients to make it less difficult. I also shared this recipe at 8 Muddy Boots' From Scratch.
