Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Potatoes and Spinach
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced choose starchy potatoes like Russets for creaminess
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped can use frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream for extra creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon butter adds richness
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper optional, for mild flavor

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and easily mashed.
  2. While the potatoes are cooking, in a separate saucepan, add the chopped spinach with a splash of water. Cover and steam over low heat for about 3-5 minutes until wilted and tender.
  3. Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, cooked spinach, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together using a potato masher or an immersion blender until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. If the mash is too thick, you can add a little more cream to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes

Texture Tips: For an even smoother texture, use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the mash until completely silky. Ensure the potatoes are cooked until fork-tender for easy mashing, and don't hesitate to add more cream or butter for a richer consistency.
This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If it thickens upon cooling, simply reheat with a splash of milk or cream to restore its creamy texture. The mash should be smooth and spreadable, with no lumps remaining.
