Provided by Aslan

Categories     Side Dish     Potato Side Dish Recipes     Mashed Potato Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced yellow bell pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
ground black pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Pick the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for mashed potatoes. Yukon Golds have a buttery, creamy texture, while russets are more starchy and fluffy.
  • Boil the potatoes until they're very tender: This will ensure that they mash smoothly. You can check if they're done by piercing them with a fork - they should slide off easily.
  • Don't overmash the potatoes: Overmashing will make them gluey. Use a potato masher or ricer to gently mash the potatoes until they're smooth and creamy, with a few small lumps remaining.
  • Add plenty of butter, milk, and cream: These ingredients will make the mashed potatoes rich and flavorful. Be sure to use unsalted butter and whole milk or cream, as these will give the best flavor.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs. Taste the potatoes as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately: Mashed potatoes are best when served hot and fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can reheat them gently in a saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave.

Conclusion:

Spinach mashed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best spinach mashed potatoes that will surely impress your family and friends.
