MASHED POTATO SPINACH CASSEROLE



Mashed Potato Spinach Casserole image

This is one of my old stand-by recipes from the More with Less Cookbook. It's a good one for those nights when I don't really feel like cooking. I suppose this is meant to be a side dish, but I always up the amounts a bit and serve it as a meatless main dish. The original recipe calls for the addition of dill seed and chives, but I never use them for our family.

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled and diced
2 boxes chopped spinach, defrosted
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup cream
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Salt water and boil potatoes until tender 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Squeeze the water from spinach in a clean dish towel.
  • Drain potatoes and melt butter in the hot pot, then add the garlic and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cream, add the spinach, separating the greens as you do. Season greens with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add potatoes to the pot and mash to desired consistency.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal, as they have a fluffy texture and hold their shape well when mashed.
  • Cook the potatoes correctly: Cook the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain them well before mashing.
  • Use a ricer: A ricer will help you achieve smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes.
  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If using frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the mashed potatoes.
  • Season the mashed potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the mashed potatoes. This will help to bring out the flavor of the potatoes and spinach.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the mashed potato spinach bake until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will help to create a crispy crust.
