The potato provides the carbs, a lot of minerals, and some of the vitamins.
The cottage cheese provides a well balanced protein, fats to disolve the fat soluble vitamins, and a lot of vitamins.
When eaten along with a veg to provide phytochemicals and other vitamins and minerals you have a complete meal. I'd suggest kale as cheap and good if you don't like the frozen ones and want a fresh green. At any rate, it is far better and more complete than mac and cheese in a container.
You don't have to eat this every day, but you can easily put together other quick and easy combinations.
