Creamed Mashed Potatoes With Spinach

"Boy, do we loves potatoes and spinach. When I came across this recipe from Gourmet from 2001, I had to make it, and darn, if it isn't GREAT! I have made a few adaptations, but this is pretty close to the original.Cooks Notes: You may wish to substitute the heavy cream with 1 or 2% milk, I have even used non fat sour cream and thrown in a few cloves of roasted garlic. ZWT REGION: The Netherlands."

directions

  • Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a large saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While potatoes are simmering, bring cream, butter, salt, and pepper to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. Peel potatoes and mash in large saucepan.
  • Stir spinach into warm cream, tossing to coat, and when slightly wilted (after about 1 minute), immediately add to potatoes. Mash potatoes until almost smooth. Serve immediately.

  1. Great recipe. I used milk instead of cream. This is such a great way to to get some extra greens in the diet. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
     
  2. We really liked this, I made the following changes. Whenever I have mashed potatoes these days I include cauliflower. I just cut the cauliflower into pieces and boil until tender. Then I mashed it with the potatoes and no one can tell it's there and you've just made the dish much more nutritional. I only had frozen spinach so I defrosted that and put it in with the cream mixture. Came out wonderful!
     
  3. We loved these potatoes. Potatoes and spinach are two of my favorite things, and now I can enjoy them together!
     
  4. I too love spinach so this was great! I used a little more spinach than called for, and did scale the recipe down to about 1 pound. Thanks for a yummy side dish!
     
  5. What a fabulous recipe! Love mashed potato, especially naughtily creamy mashed potato, and I would happily eat spinach in practically everything from dawn till dusk. So for me this was truly a recipe made in heaven! Like several earlier reviewers, I used low-fat cream and I added 4 cloves of minced garlic (just softened in probably about a 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil, for 1 minute in the microwave) in step two. Again like some earlier reviewers, I added proportionally more spinach. I did this by adding one packet of thoroughly-drained (well-squeezed) frozen spinach to an already generous amount of baby spinach. And then, with all that spinach, I just couldn't resist adding a generous pinch of nutmeg. Made for PRMR. Thank you, kiwidutch: this is a recipe I'll be making again and again!
