Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly until wilted. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the hot pot (off the heat) to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
Add the butter and heavy cream to the potatoes. Mash using a potato masher or a handheld mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold the sautéed spinach into the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, fold in grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
