Creamed Mashed Potatoes With Spinach

kiwidutch's Note:

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.

1. Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a large saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

We loved these potatoes. Potatoes and spinach are two of my favorite things, and now I can enjoy them together!

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!
