POTATISMOS (SWEDISH MASHED POTATOES)

The Swedish mashed potatoes took a bit of getting used to for me. I love nutmeg in my apple pies and other sweets, but it's not a flavor I expect in my mashed potatoes. Of course I always ate them the way my first husband's Norwegian gramma made them, but when I make them myself I use just enough to add a hint of flavor. After all, without the nutmeg they're just plain mashed potatoes. ;)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

6-8 potatoes peeled and boiled
3/4 cup sour cream
2 tsp salt
3 TBS chives
1/4 pound butter
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dill weed
1 box 10 oz frozen spinach drained
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

Mash potatoes with butter, salt and pepper. Add all other ingredients. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400o.

Tips:

For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer to mash the potatoes instead of a fork or potato masher.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the potatoes will be less creamy and rich.
Add a little bit of butter to the potatoes for extra flavor and richness.
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
For a more flavorful dish, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill.
If you are making the potatoes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
When you are ready to serve the potatoes, reheat them in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
