Instructions
Peel and cube the Russet potatoes into approximately 1-inch pieces.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.

Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and unsweetened almond milk to the potatoes.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sautéed spinach and garlic mixture until evenly distributed.
